+You can also mount the file share using the Linux command line. Select the tab below for your Linux distribution to see the commands you need to run. Be sure to replace `<YourStorageAccountName>` and `<FileShareName>` with your information.
+
+# [Ubuntu/Debian](#tab/Ubuntu)
+```bash
+sudo apt-get -y update
+sudo apt-get install nfs-common
+ 
+/mount/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName>
+ 
+sudo mkdir -p /mount/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName>
+sudo mount -t nfs <YourStorageAccountName>.file.core.windows.net:/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName> /mount/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName> -o vers=4,minorversion=1,sec=sys,nconnect=4
+```
+
+# [RHEL/CentOS](#tab/RHEL)
+```bash
+sudo yum update
+sudo yum install nfs-utils
+ 
+/mount/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName>
+ 
+sudo mkdir -p /mount/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName>
+sudo mount -t nfs <YourStorageAccountName>.file.core.windows.net:/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName> /mount/<YourStorageAccountName>/<FileShareName> -o vers=4,minorversion=1,sec=sys,nconnect=4
+```
+
+### [SUSE](#tab/SUSE)

 ### Mount an NFS share using /etc/fstab
 
 If you want the NFS file share to automatically mount every time the Linux server or VM boots, create a record in the **/etc/fstab** file for your Azure file share. Replace `YourStorageAccountName` and `FileShareName` with your information.
