like cd/Documents gives "cd/Documents command not found " .The same thing with sudo command. Not able to access an files, change directories or install software

Your command is wrong, it should be cd ~/Documents. – Parto Jun 11 '14 at 04:54 — Parto, Jun 11 '14 at 04:54
Still showing command not found – user292457 Jun 11 '14 at 05:09 — user292457, Jun 11 '14 at 05:09
cd ~/Documents even cd ~/Desktop – user292457 Jun 11 '14 at 05:15 — user292457, Jun 11 '14 at 05:15

cd/Documents will not work. There should be a space after cd command and I think path you mentioned is incorrect, Document folder is in users home folder i.e. /home/{username}/Document in your case you can try

cd ~/Documents

cd Documents
