That command they show isn't run from a Python shell. It's run from
either a Unix shell (bash and friends) or a Windows command prompt
(cmd). If you want to run a script, you have to give the path to that
script. ./ means the current directory and .. is the parent directory
if you want to give relative paths, or you can just write out the
whole file path.

os.chdir changes the current directory, but you probably don't need to do that.
