How can I symlink a file in Linux?

To create a new symlink (will fail if symlink exists already):

ln -s /path/to/file /path/to/symlink

To create or update a symlink:

ln -sf /path/to/file /path/to/symlink

ln -s TARGET LINK_NAME

Where the -s makes it symbolic.

ln -s EXISTING_FILE_OR_DIRECTORY SYMLINK_NAME
