Create Mojave USB installer error

I am trying to create a usb installer for mac os mojave, I have followed the steps from the apple page and copied the command into terminal .. Mojave installer is in applications folder and my usb is named MyVolume.

I keep getting the same response after entering my password -


sudo: /Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia: command not found


I have done this before so I am unsure why its not working now ..

Any help appreciated :)

MacBook (2017)

Spaces needed or escaping them...
• sudo: /Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia

sudo: "/Applications/Install macOS Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia"

sudo: /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Mojave.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia

FYI, I think the error message does display the path with unescaped spaces. It would be great if the OP would actually post a screenshot showing the command used & the full error message so we could confirm.
