Directory 'mc/etc' does not exist

Question

When I open to edit mc/etc/sysctl.conf file I get this message: ~Directory 'mc/etc' does not exist~

Please help me, I am new in ubuntu

Must be a typo. Should be /etc/sysctl.conf without the mc part. — Jos, Commented Apr 8, 2019 at 22:07

There is a typo in the instructions in

To configure the gateway, edit /etc/sysctl.conf file. Find and uncomment the following line:

Note the file sysctl.conf is in the /etc/ folder. Be particular about the leading / before the etc/.

As this is a system file, you will need administrative privileges to edit this file. Open a terminal using Ctrl+Alt+T and enter:

sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf

This will open the file in a text based editor nano. Find and uncomment the following line:

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

To save and exit nano Use Ctrl+X Followed by Y, followed by Etner.

Hope this helps
