how to correct the directory path in linux?

Hello,

I'm new to linux. I'm trying to install bioconda. as the conda website suggests, I should type sha256sum filename. to verify the bioconda. but it says there is no such directory file. How should I correct the path?

Actually the path I'm using now is:

vafa@Acer:~$ sha256sum miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

Thanks,
Vafa

Simply run the installer as ./miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh, no need for this verification. If the installation finishes properly, the installer is ok and if not, simply rm -rf it.

the directory you suggested did not work as well.

We can’t tell you whether your path is correct or not, because we don’t know where you downloaded the installer file to.

I have downloaded the folder to "downloads folder".

Are you even in the same directory as that file?

that's what I think may be my mistake. how should I change the directory to downloads folder?

cd is the command. I strongly suggest you get yourself a background in Unix systems before proceeding any further.
