And tell me steps too.

Application->Terminal

Ok...

Application>Terminal

And then I typed following

#!/bin/sh
clear
echo "Hello World"


Isn't it?

Whoa there!
Open up a text editor. Save your bash script in a file. Then run the file.

When it comes to editors, you can use a graphical one like gedit (type "gedit" in terminal, or Application->Accessories->Text editor).

Or one like vi, which is installed by default in most UNIX-like systems. Harder to learn, but worth it:
