Tar xf Downloads/tor-browser-linu圆4-7.5.3_ I would probably put it straight in my home directory: cd So I suggest unpacking it somewhere more suitable. However, the Tor Browser Bundle doesn't really install-it unpacks to a directory full of files, and you just run it from there. If you actually want to extract the archive in your Downloads folder, you can then do so with the command you ran (assuming the filename is correct for what you downloaded).

If you ever want or need to, you can return to your home directory simply with cd, though cd ~ or cd ~/ would also work. So this works from anywhere: cd ~/Downloads The ~/ gets expanded into the full path to your home directory. However, you can also put ~/ in front of Downloads. That works if you're in your home directory already, which you probably are when you open a terminal window. To change directory into your Downloads directory, use the cd command: cd Downloads You would normally be in your home directory. When you open a terminal, you would not normally be in your Downloads directory. You downloaded the file to your Downloads directory, which is a subdirectory of your home directory.
