Sorry, been using Unix for 20+ years so take these things for granted... To explain, "~" is a character for the home directory of a person. In the following examples "$" indicates a command prompt and should be ignored - it's just to illustrate it's a command, not narrative.
$ cd ~ takes you to YOUR OWN home directory $ cd ~fredbloggs takes you to Fred's Same happens with paths.... $ ls ~fredbloggs would list Fred's files, assuming you have permissions $ ls ~/Desktop/install would list the contents of the install "folder" on your desktop etc. That's what the "~" character does, anyway.
