I don't understand. I followed his instruction but it keeps saying command not found because there is no flashcards

I don't understand. I followed his instruction but it keeps saying command not found because there is no flashcards directory. Am I supposed to make a new folder somewhere called flashcards before I start this process?

Yes. You make your own 'flashcards' folder. Open your terminal and type:

mkdir flashcards

This will create your 'flashcards' folder. Then you need to move into that folder. Again, in your terminal type:

cd flashcards

This moves you from your current folder into the 'flashcards' folder.

Sure.Make a directory flashcards if you haven't .The 'mkdir flashcards' command is used to create the directory.then 'cd flashcards' to change to the just created directory.You can manually create the directory it doesnt have to be via the command

if you're on mac or windows you can create a folder manually and after type the cd and the name of your folder like this

1- example C:\ cd flashcards
