linux terminal: how to copy output to a file and print at terminal simultaneously?

Question

I would like to save output from command to a file and observe it on ubuntu terminal at once.

Using basic:

command >output.txt

It's not working, because the terminal shows nothing.

Is it possible to see the output in both file and in terminal window?

Terminal won't show anything as output has been printed/written to the file. Use `tee`. — Am_I_Helpful, Apr 06 '16 at 08:28

Yes it is. I've tried to find the answer via google and stackoverflow before, but I've failed. Thanks. — einstein13, Apr 06 '16 at 08:58
