downloaded scanmodem.gz to download folder how to use terminal to install ?

english,ubuntu 11.10,,,,,,,,rest of functions seem to work....

cd is a command you run like amy other. You don't know where the 'apt-get' command is either, yet I'm sure you have ran it a few times.
Where did you download the file from?
Can you give the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

cd ~/Downloads

is how you change to the Downloads folder, the tilde character is the shortcut for home so your path you gave is:

/home/$USER/home/downloads

when you probably meant:

/home/$USER/Downloads
