'No such file or directory'

Hey there,

I am trying to complete an assessment and have to navigate to the following directory, and run the NPM.

It seems straight forward enough but I repeatedly get 'no file or directory' message.

I have changed the shell to ensure it is running bash, but keeps saying it is running zsh, despite all settings confirming it is not.

The file is definitely present on my desktop (I am mostly dragging and dropping this folder after 'cd')

Any assistance would be amazing

Or you can control-click on the folder icon from Finder, and can select Services > New Terminal at Folder, or can select Services > New Terminal Tab at Folder.

That’d do the new Terminal launch or the Command-T new tab creation and the cd command and the drag-the-folder-name-to-Terminal for you.

Spaces and casing are important at the command line.

Try this, noting the space between the lowercase shell cd command and your path. This also assumes that the folder node_server_template already exists.

cd /Users/caitlin/Desktop/node_server_template
