Help Me!! Failed to install file!

the username was confusing.

Just a quick note that the ~ (tilde) shortcut can be used to refer to the current user's home directories or files in a command.

e.g. cd /home/freddy/Desktop can be written as cd ~/Desktop

and ls -l /home/freddy/Downloads/*.doc can be written as ls -l ~/Downloads/*.doc

That saves having to determine the user's username for questions like this one.
