Should I Run Terminal Commands One at a Time or All Together?

You can actually do both! However, I’d recommend that beginners run each command one at a time. If something goes wrong, it’s much easier to troubleshoot that way. Plus, copying a whole block without knowing what each command does can be risky, especially if there are hidden things in the command you can’t see.

If you want to play it safe, consider chaining commands with &&. This way, the next command will only run if the previous one was successful, which can help avoid unwanted actions. For example, you might write: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.

You can definitely copy and paste the whole thing in one go, but just be aware that your terminal might ask for confirmations. Pasting newlines means the commands will execute, so it's something to watch out for.

It’s possible to paste the entire block, but it’s usually better to do one command at a time. This way, if you’re prompted for anything or if an error pops up, you can handle it right away.
