7,553 PointsGetting an error while trying to create a directory for odot project
So I'm on the 'write our first test' video for odot. I'm at 1:25 mins in the video. There jason makes a directory using:
mkdir -p spec/features/todo_lists
When I do this on my windows computer (using the ruby enviroment that I set up using bitnami ruby stack ) I get the folloing error:
'The syntax of the command is incorrect.'
What would the correct syntax be?
