folder name is "Downloads" not "downloads" should enter: "sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton"

when entering a /folder/file path, you have to be absolutely positive about the capitalization, spacing, and underscores.(some tools dont like spaces in file_names_or_folder_paths, sees it as a | break in the instruction.

its always the easy things that get you first. Dont be discouraged by the grandeur. welcome to the community.
