I'm trying to install a program (synergy) but it wont install

I'm trying to install synergy but when I type in

sudo dpkg -i synergy-1.4.15-Linux-i686.deb

it wont install. It just tells me that there isn't such file on the system.

Am I doing something wrong?

First go into the directory where the .deb file is located,

cd /path/to/the/directory/which/contains/synergy-1.4.15-Linux-i686.deb

Then run the above deb file installation command,

sudo dpkg -i synergy-1.4.15-Linux-i686.deb

you should type first in terminal :

cd and the location of the .deb pacakge then type your code

I don't know what tutorial are you following but synergy is in the repositories, you just have to

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install synergy
