Either cd Downloads ./get_iplayer note the ./ which tells it to use the one in this folder not look in the path. Or from anywhere ~/Downloads/get_iplayer The above assume that the Downloads in your home folder is where you downloaded to. "~" tells it to start from your home folder. If you want to replace the one in /usr/bin (if that is where it is) then you can just do sudo cp ~/Downloads/get_iplayer /usr/bin which will ask for your password and then do it. The sudo command temporarily gives you root privileges. To find where the one that runs when you run get_iplayer is do which get_iplayer and it will tell you.
