command line - How can I change directories in the terminal?

I have been googling how to use the terminal in Ubuntu 14.04. Many years ago, I could find my way around DOS, albeit I'm a bit rusty. It seems that it's basically similar but when I try to change directory all I get is no such file or directory. This happens on every cd command I tried.


I even followed youtube videos and still no joy. Is there an app I need to install first?
I want to install tarz files I have downloaded but I still want to be able to use the terminal for other things.
