Displaying a particular number of lines from the log file on the terminal

[Sven]

Hello,
How can I display a particular number of lines from the .log file on a terminal?

I have tried the following command to display 7 lines, but getting the error "Invalid numbers of lines".
tail -n 7/access.log

How many lines are available in the .log file? Is more than 7 lines?

There are 16 lines in the .log file.

The right syntax is: tail -n 7 access.log

Or just

tail -7 access.log
