I believe the confusion here is related to the misunderstanding that path-to-download-package is figurative rather than literal. Assuming that your downloads are going to your default download directory you should be able to install with dpkg -i ~/Downloads/mendeleydesktop_1.17.13-stable_amd64 where mendeleydesktop_1.17.13-stable_amd64 is the name of the file you downloaded. you can get the exact path/to/filename with the command find ~/ -name *mendeleydesktop* | grep Downloads
If this sounds too complicated you an simply issue the command installpath=$(find ~/ -name *mendeleydesktop* | grep Downloads) && dpkg -i $installpath which will set the environment variable installpath equal to the full path to the file found by the find command and then use that to tell dpkg what to install.
