tree is not a default command

A specific command in this series i.e tree is not a default command in most Linux distros. Would it be a nice idea to give installation steps beforehand or provide the reader with an idea about the same?

Need introduction or README to answer some questions:

• Who is the book for?
• What does the reader need to know before reading it, and where should they learn that? (for instance you don't explain what Linux or a command line is yet; it is probably out of this book's scope to re-explain them but a true beginner will not already know these things and should be pointed to a useful resource)
• Is the reader expected to go from start to end, or is jumping around ok?
• What tasks will the book help the reader learn to accomplish? (equally important, this would show what tasks are out of scope for the book)
• How is this book meant to differ from similar enumerations of Linux commands and how to use them, such as the man pages and OpsSchool (http://www.opsschool.org/en/latest/introduction.html) ?

Missing LICENSE?

I was looking into the repository and noticed that there was no license file in the root directory. I did see in the README that it's copyrighted to @kushaldas, but I'm not sure if this was a temporary or permanent plan (since it seems like there's also other people who have contributed to this repo already).

Since most of it is Markdown content, I would suggest adding a Creative Commons license so the content here can remain free and open, and others can contribute knowing that their additions to the book will be added to a larger project dedicated to open knowledge.

This would also likely invite other people to contribute to the efforts of helping write the book as well. :) Plus, when you use a CC license and add it into the LICENSE file in the root directory, GitHub will also show the license type in the header bar and provide a brief explanation of what the license means.
