Nick Harmon
5,900 Pointsno, how do i do that? type mkdir source?
Maciej Czuchnowski
36,441 PointsWell...yes. cd means 'change directory', i.e. "go to directory called: x". If x is not found (you don't have the directory named 'source'), you can't expect this to work :)

5,900 PointsTHank you, I am very very new to all of this, one last question if you dont mind....it is asking me on the ruby foundations loops video to type the command subl -n loops-1.rb, but when i do this -bash says command not found? Any ideas on this? Thank You
Maciej Czuchnowski
36,441 Pointssubl is a custom command available when you install Sublime Text and configure your shortcuts. It basically opens this file loops-1.rb in Sublime Text. You don't really need to do all that, you jut want any text editor and ruby interpreter. This is enough: http://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces

Maciej Czuchnowski
36,441 PointsBecause you don't have source directory and Workspaces does not have Sublime Text installed...it's just an editor and Workspaces has an editor built in.
