We can create directories by using another popular command. The mkdir command can be used to create a directory. Let's do a listing, using the ls command, as follows:
[philip@localhost ~]$ ls
Desktop Documents Downloads Music Pictures Public Templates Videos
[philip@localhost ~]$
Now, let's create our own directory inside of /home/philip:
[philip@localhost ~]$ mkdir NewTest
[philip@localhost ~]$ ll
total 36
