Sorry, I've been using the command line for so many years I forget others may not be at the same level of literacy.
First, all the commands I used in my follow-up posts were intended just to illustrate how the filesystems in the two partitions on the uSD card end up as a merged filesystem when moOde is running. That was only because in your first post you said
I was trying, clumsily as it turns out, to show why, in this Mac-editing mode, you would have to navigate to the sd card "rootfs". (I should have gone a step further and pointed out that you would then type in "cd home/pi" --- e.g., without the leading "/", because the card's filesystem has been mounted at "rootfs" in your Mac's filesystem.)
But now you're trying commands on the RPi so let's start over.
When you ssh into moOde, you are presented with the command-line prompt
This says you are logged in as user "pi" on a host named "moode" and in your home directory "~", is the command-line interpreter's shorthand for "/home/pi". The "$" character is the actual prompt. [1] You type in your commands after it.
If you were at some other level in the directory system, you'd see something like
which is what you saw in one of my examples: I was logged in as user "pi" on host "moodecd" and in the "/var/www/command" directory. The directory that I was in was irrelevant to the problem I was discussing; I should have taken care to return to my home directory before executing the command I was showing.
The point is that only what comes after the "$" is something you'd want to enter.
So let's go back to square one.
You've booted your moOde player. You've ssh'ed into it. You're sitting at the command line prompt I showed in the first code block above. Now you should be able to enter the commands just as I gave them in the README in my github repo.
Regards,
Kent
[1] I shall resist the urge to talk about differences in command line interpreters. We're running bash by default in moOde/Raspbian.

Quote: Have the sd card with moOde 6.4.2 in my mac. Zip file is on the mac. Using terminal I have navigated to the sd card "boot" and then typed in cd /home/pi which gives error No such file or directory.
