You are supposed to ship the ssh into linux video and accessing the digital ocean video, if you had setup a linux virtual machine on your system, or you had a linux OS running on your system.
If you have gone the virtual machine route, then you will have a terminal access directly to the virtual machine, and you should be able to run the linux commands there.
If you have a linux os, use the following key combination to start a terminal and run the linux commands in the terminal
