Trouble linking to jquery

Hi! I'm trying to stick jquery onto my page, but it won't go. I made a Yahtzee game in vanilla JS and decided to switch over to jquery for the practice, but the console just says "GET file:///C:/Users/Trent/Documents/HTML,%20JS,%20CSS/jquery-3.2.1.min net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" then points to the line in my HTML where it's supposed to find the file. I'm not sure what's going wrong.

Here's the relevant HTML. The file jquery-3.2.1.min is one folder up.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <body>
        <script src="../jquery-3.2.1.min"></script>
        <script src="Yahtzee.js"></script>
        <script src="highScores.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Do I need to do anything more to import jquery than just download it and link to it in the HTML?
