tar: can't open 'karam.tar.gz': No such file or directory

Don't know in which directory to put this file :-/ .... tried the main folder and some other folders but doesn't seems to work ...
It depends where you downloaded the file to, default is
Code:
/home/user/MyDocs
You can see whats in each dir by using the command
Code:
ls
If you have just opened xterm you are in
Code:
/home/user
So to get to MyDocs folder

Code:
cd MyDocs
Then
Code:
ls
To see if its in there.
Then untar with
Code:
tar -xzvf karam.tar.gz
