Using the absolute path in the file name when loading root files

Newbie

Im really new to ROOT and programming in general so some of the more simple ideas and explanations confuse me. I’ve recently downloaded a bunch of root files for a project, but when I call them in my Jupyter notebook, it says it can’t open the files. I know that when I load the root files, I should use the absolute path in the file name, but I don’t know how to actually do that. If anyone could give me a place to start that would be super helpful.

ROOT Version: 6.34.08
Platform: macOS
Compiler: Not Provided

Then just use that when opening the file/s. Suppose you start the Jupyter notebook from your home (/home/username) and you want to open a file hsimple.root that is in the folder /scra, so its full path is /scra/hsimple.root:
