In the command prompt you need to change the directory by using cd (which means change directory) and then insert the path to the folder you are hosting all of your files in. For example when I am compiling, in command prompt I type:

cd C:\Users\Dev\OneDrive\Dev\Treehouse\Unit 5\2 Sass Basics\1 Compiling CSS to Sass

Press enter. Then you can follow along with the rest of the instructions.

Thank you! I installed CSS using Chocolately and I couldn't figure out how to get command prompt to open my scss file. This did the trick.
