View source for How to change the Timezone on Debian 9 Linux

Changing the time zone on a debian based system is fairly simple.

#To check your current timezone run <pre>user@server:~# date</pre> which should return something like <pre>Mon May 13 00:58:26 UTC 2019</pre> showing that the current timezone is set to ''UTC''
#To change the system timezone run <pre>user@server:~# sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York</pre>
#*change ''America/New_York'' to a location relevant to your physical location using the "TZ database name" in this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones table]
#To check your new current timezone run <pre>user@server:~# date</pre> which should return something like <pre>Sun May 12 21:00:13 EDT 2019</pre>
showing that the current timezone is now set to ''EDT''
