How to Change Screenshot Save Location ?

I am using macbook pro 2016 touchbar,macOS sierra 10.12.2 for screenshots if we use shift+command+3 generally screenshots are saved on desktop

I wanted them to save on downloads folder, so I googled and got the follwing command: defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Downloads/

It seems that this command is not working. How to solve this problem ?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5)

/Downloads would be a folder named Downloads at the root level of the hard drive.

You would want ~/Downloads for the one in your home.
