cd projects not working

At the 4:47 mark of the video, when I enter cd projects/, I get a "no such file or directory" message.

This happened before earlier in the video, but I was able to get in by doing "Users/myusername/Downloads/treehouse." I tried doing that again here going deeper into the projects file, but it did not work.

Any ideas?

if the location you're looking for exists (you should be able to see the files in the left hand side of the workspace), then traversing the directory structure should be a matter of your current directory (reflected by the prompt), and using cd to get into subdirectories or using a directory styles relative to root (i think it accepts / ) or home (probably $HOME or ~). The ls command can be used to view the contents of the current directory. cd .. goes up a directory. (they have a linux console course that does basic syntax). But cd projects should work if there is projects directory and you're in the folder that contains it.
