Problem In Installing Netbeans IDE in Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am a newbie to the Linux Environment(Ubuntu in this case) and I needed to download Netbeans for developing a software i'm working on. So, I read it on the web about how to install Netbeans on Ubuntu. I have performed all the previous steps successfully , Now when I'm running this comand

chmod +x netbeans-8.2-javaee-linux.sh

to make the '.sh' file executable, the terminal is showing this error

chmod: cannot access 'netbeans-8.2-javaee-linux.sh': No such file or directory

I don't know how to Proceed now. Any and every help shall be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance ! PS: I've already downloaded the 'netbeans-8.2-javaee-linux.sh' file

You need to run that command while in the folder where it was downloaded (or copy/move it to the root of your user area where the terminal opens by default) — , Oct 21 '18 at 04:43
@GabrielaGarcia can you please explain me how to do either of them , since i'm a newbie ,I am not familiar with the process — Mr. X, Oct 21 '18 at 04:56
Assuming you downloaded the file to the Downloads folder, you'd first do cd Downloads then run the command. The prompt shows where you are at any moment. — , Oct 21 '18 at 04:59

The error No such file or directory occurs when the file/directory mentioned in the command given does not exist in the location.

Assuming you downloaded the file to the default Downloads folder then you need to go to that folder first:

cd Downloads

Then issue the command you want, chmod +x netbeans-8.2-javaee-linux.sh
