What's the /path/to means

Question

I am a beginner in caffe. In some tutorials I usually see the "/path/to". I'm confuse with that. What's it means. Is that a specific path in my computer?

Here is part of a tutorial.

Prepare your data

Images: put all images in a folder (I'll call it here /path/to/jpegs/). Labels: create a text file (e.g., /path/to/labels/train.txt) with a line per input image .

It's just telling you that you should specify a path, and giving an example of the path format.

/path/to/labels/train.txt

The tutorial or instructions expect you to replace it with your own path, which can be anything you want as long as it's in path format

/hanbing/data/train.txt

/documents/cafe/example_app/train.txt

The /path/to/labels/train.txt simply means the path to where you actually stored the train.txt in your computer.

Say it was kept in a folder called train in your computer situated in the document folder(assuming your are using linux) then the path to the file would be

/home/udoyen/Documents/train/train.txt.

Note:udoyen here being my own or yours in which it would have been like this

/home/hanbing/Documents/train/train.txt
