Notation

Angle brackets around an <item> denote the need to replace the entire <item> with the string. The angle brackets should no longer be present after the replacement occurs.

Square brackets around an [item] denote an optional item. If used, the entire [item] should be replaced with a string, and the square brackets should no longer be present after the replacement occurs.

When commands are provided, they are typically provided with a leading prompt character. When the $ prompt character is used, it denotes that the command is to be run within the system prompt. When the > prompt character is used, it denotes that the command is to be run within software application's prompt.
