[Solved] Can't access .theme

Actual quote from actual terminal:

me@pc:~$ cd /.themes
bash: cd: /.themes: No such file or directory
me@pc:~$ mkdir .themes
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.themes’: File exists

What am I missing? I see .themes as a hidden directory when I ls, but i can't access it.

Re: [Solved] Can't access .theme

me@pc:~$ cd /.themes

What you are saying is, go to the .themes directory off of the / (root) directory.

What you want to say is:

cd .themes

...or to specify the full path:

cd ~/.themes

~ is a shortcut to your home directory.

Thank you ToZ.

I did not know what the ~ meant. Appreciate the help.
