If you look at the terminal there is the prompt (some text at the beginning of the line) and what you type. Your prompt look like : michael-riveras-computer:~ michaelrivera$ Which tells you : - the name of your machine : michael-riveras-computer (not useful for what follows) - the current folder : ~ (really useful) - your username : michaelrivera (not useful for what follows) Let's now see what you have done : 1) opening a new terminal > prompt : "michael-riveras-computer:~ michaelrivera$" -> you are in the ~ folder (aka. home) 2) run "cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/" (aka. change directory to ...) > prompt : "michael-riveras-computer:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files michaelrivera$" -> you are in the "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" folder as you requested, congratulations 3) run "ls" (aka. list content) > prompt : no change, directory is still "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files" -> In the list you can see "Rockwell Software" which gives you the _exact_ name you are looking for 4) run "cd "Rockwell Software"" > prompt : "michael-riveras-computer:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Rockwell Software michaelrivera$" -> you are in the "Rockwell Software" sub folder as you requested, congratulations Then... some random commands without any real meaning. I guess a mix of "And now what ?" and of pure panic "What is this terminal thing ? What is it asking me ?" It should have gone like this : 5) would be another "ls" which would give you either : - another folder name : go to 6) - an exe name (something which end up in .exe) : got to 7) 6) Bascially like 4), type "cd" followed by the exact folder name in double quotes and then go back to 5) 7) Type "wine" followed by the exact file name in double quotes (including what is before the .exe and the .exe itself) But you would have understood all that and I would not have had to write those details if you took the time to go through the first steps of any terminal tutorial. It would take you less than 5 minutes to complete and make like easier for you and the people trying to help you...
