First, make a folder to save your screenshots in; it can be located anywhere on your Mac. I chose to call mine "Screenshots," and saved it in the Documents folder.

Next, you'll need to open up Spotlight to search for the Terminal, which is Apple's app for tweaking your computer's software code.

Once the Terminal is open, copy and paste the following text into the box without quotation marks. You'll need the extra space before the second quotation mark, so don't delete it: "defaults write com.apple.screencapture location "
Make sure your cursor is placed after "location" in the Terminal (with a space after it), then drag your desired screenshot folder into the Terminal window — the path to that folder should automatically paste into the text box. Press enter after this is complete.

This is what the Terminal should look like if you completed the last step correctly. Your usernames/folder names will likely be different, of course.
