Note: Replace "/path/to/jump/folder" with the actual path to the jump folder. You can use the "ls" command to list the files present in the current directory and use the "cd" command to access the jump folder.

Step 4: Reload .bashrc file

To apply the changes made in the .bashrc file, you need to reload it. To do so, use the following command.

source ~/.bashrc

Step 5: Test Jump Installation

The Jump tool is now installed on your system. To double-check whether everything is working fine, use the following command in your terminal.
