Python3: Cannot import CSV Files into my Jupyter Notebook -- See Specific Error & Screenshot Below

Question

I have a train.csv file sitting on my Desktop that I want to import into my Jupyter notebook.

The file is located at the following place:

I tried the following Python code:

import pandas as pd
df_train = pd.read_csv('C:\home\name\Desktop\train.csv')

But I got the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] File b'C:\home\pinzhi\Desktop\train.csv' does not exist: b'C:\home\pinzhi\Desktop\train.csv'

What am I doing wrong?

try raw prefix: `pd.read_csv(r'C:\home\pinzhi\Desktop\train.csv')` — Jean-François Fabre, Sep 08 '19 at 14:04
`df_train = pd.read_csv('/home/pinzhi/Desktop/train.csv')` ? — ansev, Sep 08 '19 at 14:06
why are you feeding a windows path if you're on linux in the first place? — Jean-François Fabre, Sep 08 '19 at 14:10
I didn't know that was a windows path ... using linux for the first time — PineNuts0, Sep 08 '19 at 14:12

You should use...

df_train = pd.read_csv('/home/pinzhi/Desktop/train.csv')

if you are using linux you must use path of linux.
