If/when you come back to this: I find it easiest when I want to capture
the output from a command to redirect it to a file with ">":

   commad > file_name

This will overwrite the output file, if you want to collect the output
from multiple commands you can use ">>" in place of ">" which will then
append the output to the end of the file without overwriting what was
already there. 

Another useful option is "tee" which writes it's input to a file and
standard output, so if you want to run a command and both see it's
output in your terminal and capture it in a file:

    command | tee file_name
