mounting iso file in ubuntu

sometime we need to mount an ISO file. If we are in windows environment we could use such Alcohol. But if we are in linux environment especially in ubuntu, we don't need anymore additional programs to mount an ISO file. in ubuntu we could use a command line:

sudo mount -o loop file-name.iso folder-name

file-name.iso is the name of the ISO file that you want to mount, and folder-name is the name of the folder that we want to place the mounting file. For example the name of ISO file is protocol.iso and the destination folder to place the the mounting file is iso-mount, so we could type in command line such as:

sudo mount -o loop protocol.iso iso-mount

I think it is so easy right? and now, how to unmount the ISO file? ok, don't be afraid, just type the following command:

sudo umount folder-name

Becouse in the example I use the folder "iso-mount", and then the command that I use to unmount it is:

sudo umount iso-mount

I think all of above commands is easy to do, but if you prefer GUI (Graphical User Interface) based-application than command line, you could use GUI based-application such as Mounty and the others
