<a href="location_to_file"> Download </a>

Your issue is that you don't have the location of the file correct.

Or,

You're trying to use a local link, like C:\Users\Pictures\wtf-lol.jpg

That link is local and will not work for anyone that is not on your computer.

You need to upload whatever that document is to an online environment, where you can direct the link to.

Nothing else matters, if you don't have the link right, there will be no prompt to download.
