How do I find out what the home directory is?

[komatsu]

I need to run a terminal command within the OS X recovery mode environment. The particular command needs the home directory or root.

How do I find out what the home directory is?

(Remember, this Mac is NOT booting, I can only get into recovery mode)

In Recovery, the Macintosh HD volume is mounted separately at a different path, similar to an external drive. You can see that path with the “df” (without quotes) command, or you can list it with “ls -l /Volumes”. From there you will find the home directories of the users in Users/, e.g. /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/.

Which command do you intend to use?
