"~" is a standard UNIX (POSIX?) shorthand for the user's home
directory. On my Mac it is "/Users/mweylandt" and I imagine you'd get
something similar on all Linux and BSD systems -- one easy way to see
where it is: go to your terminal and type "cd && pwd" which will print
it out. No idea what the parallel on Windows is: possibly something
under C:/Documents and Settings but it's been so long since I've had
the misfortune of doing serious work on Windows, I can't remember.
Incidentally, is there a reason you can't put your package in the
"regular" place?
Finally, see the manuals that Bert, Josh, and I have pointed you to:
they are much more authoritative on these matters than any of us.
Best,
Michael
