What are you typing in and in what location?
Can you screenshot the issue?
Thanks,

Treehouse TeacherSounds like you are missing the java bit and it's trying to run a program called Hangman.

Courses Plus Student 11,239 PointsI type in - clear && javac Hangman.java && Hangman java
that's when I get the error. Now I'm getting a new error when compiling that says -
./Prompter.java:32: error: cannot find symbol
return mGame.applyGuess(guess);
^
symbol: variable guess
location: class Prompter
1 error

When I run this in the console I get the error posted above. I can screenshot it but this may be easier to see.
