can anyone help me? thanks
today is my second day so i can't say 100% but i think yes i double click at it open it with and it starts loading and then tells me what i wrote in red..
Firstly, I'd make sure that your terminal's working directory (Found by entering the command 'pwd') is /home/taso5/downloads
and if it's not, then enter:
cd /home/taso5/downloads
(Make sure it matches, as the terminal is Case Sensative - if the folder is actually Downloads, then remember to capitalize)
Then retry the sh command

i paste to the terminal this /home/taso5/downloads and wrote me this
taso5@taso5-desktop:~$ /home/taso5/downloads
bash: /home/taso5/downloads: No such file or directory
then i pasted this cd /home/taso5/downloads and wrote this
taso5@taso5-desktop:~$ cd /home/taso5/downloads
bash: cd: /home/taso5/downloads: No such file or directory
that what you wanted me to do?
