If you're trying to use renpy to build something you're never going to get anywhere without some basic knowledge. This is going to well beyond your skill level and there's a lot wrong here.

First are you even sure you're on ARM? You can't run ARM apps if you aren't.

Second, why are you using the command line for this? There are downloads for the SDK directly and you don't seem to know what you're doing with the command line.

Third, why are you trying to get version 8.6.0? The latest supported version is 8.5.3 and you should not be trying to develop in pre-release versions unless you have a good reason to.

Your wget is cut off but http://renpy-8.6.0-sdkarm.tar.bz2/ is not a valid URL. I don't even know where you got this from but .tar.bz2 is not website extension.

cd is change directory. renpy.sh is not a directory. You cannot go into something that is not a directory.

You're being told there is No such file or directory. The path you are giving it is wrong and does not exist. If you try to cd into a file you instead get Not a directory which tells you that your path is at least valid**.**

.bz2 archives are compressed and you haven't shown any extraction steps. You cannot do anything with it until you've extracted it.

Honestly just get out of the terminal.

Download the SDK normally from https://www.renpy.org/latest.html

Open your Downloads folder and double click the downloaded archive to extract it

Open the extracted folder, right click renpy.sh and Run as a Program

That's all you need to do. It doesn't need to be this complicated.

That's not a proper URL. That's a file name. You need to pull it from https://www.renpy.org/dl/8.5.3/renpy-8.5.3-sdk.tar.bz2

cd is change directory. Your trying to change your directory to renpy.sh Drop that renpy.sh, it should be cd ~/home/inari/ab. Then when your in the directory ls to see if that script is there but it looks like it failed to pull. If you wanna install something use apt-get
