Reading a large text file in C programming using Clion

Question

I have a problem knowing how to read a large text file in CLion c programming application. I don't know where to include the textfile, what commands to use, if I should use shell or just run the code in Clion etc! I am hoping if any of you are experienced with CLion if you could write a step by step from the beginning. I am supposed to read a text file for an assignment and have not been able to start the assignment cause I don't know how to make my C application read the text file!

Would be incredibly grateful if anyone could take their time and help me!

All the best, A beginner in programming
