    when I enter the install command I get the following error:

    dpkg: error processing archive linux-headers-4.9*.deb (--install):
    cannot access archive: No such file or directory
    dpkg: error processing archive linux-image-4.9*.deb (--install):
    cannot access archive: No such file or directory
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    linux-headers-4.9*.deb
    linux-image-4.9*.deb

    hope you can help me as I'm new to linux

      are the deb files in the directory which you executed the dpkg command? use ls and see. if necessary, refer to each deb file explicitly, easy to type in using tab autocompletion
