Do you want to make your life easier? Do not use spaces into a filename. On Linux just don't. Programming for "bash" is a royal pain. Must remember how to escape this char or that one with "backslash" or single or double-quotes, because people do stupid things like including control characters into a directory's name. Spaces in a filename worked on WindowsXP, that is, long ago. It's bad enough Unix and anything else closely based on it has case-sensitive file systems that one has to add to the confusion somehow.
If you have the time visit "askubuntu" or "stackoverflow" sites, for questions about stuff refusing to load or refusing to compile because of issues about filenames. Stuff that one could get away with on Windows, cannot do on Linux, on MacOS, on FreeBSD etc. The "setup_lnx.sh" has a "glitch" but it's by design of the OS and the terminal.
Is it too hard to use dashes or underscore instead of spaces? Oh yeah I forgot, the word-wrap of your favorite word processor might not like it. Some people want to move on from MS-DOS eight-dot-three and that's why they use spaces inside a filename. IDK I'm a bit intolerant. When I started using WindowsXP I also put spaces in filenames because I didn't know any better way back then near change of century. Using Linux made me realize I still have a lot of bad habits.
