How do i specify a file location in terminal?

Question

Running the following commands:

wine /Home/Downloads/steamsetup.exe

resulted in file not found. How do I specify a file location in terminal?

I am on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

try

wine ~/Downloads/steamsetup.exe

The '~' character is replaced by current user home directory.

@BaileyJohnston If you type in echo ~ at a terminal prompt, it will show you the home folder full path.

It is /home/username not just /home

As far as I know CTRL + h (^h) in standard Linux terminal is interpreted as backspace character.
