Yes. And you would be in /home/ubuntu/steem ... so ./programs/steemd definitely exists from that location. /programs/steemd would imply (root_dir)/programs/steemd
Therefor, yes, you meant ./programs/steemd
or cd programs then cd steemd
or cd /home/ubuntu/steem/programs/steemd (not ideal for your snippet however since people are likely installing from a more secure user directory, but that's a moot point)
