I am currently following a tutorial that asked to open a file with "sudo vi /..."
first and formost I have half an understanding of how to type but I managed and now I need to save the file but how do I do that? I tried to use ctrl x but that doesnt work and there is no other means in the file/ edit section of the terminal. Please help.

I'm no vi expert, but I think it's Press esc, then w (to write) and q (to quit) You should probably examine vi tutorials, such as http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/UnixAndC/Editors/ViIntro.html

Why not use a more friendly editor instead, like nano?

To save, press:

That is, the 'colon' key, then the 'w' key. Then the enter key.

To save and quit, hold the shift key, and hit 'z' twice.

To quit without saving, hit:

:q!

Then the enter key.
