title: Learn Python the Hard Way Exercise 46: mkdir bin NAME tests docs
body: <p>I am a real beginner learning to use Python using Zed Shaw's "Learn Python the Hard Way". Until now, I had no codes that gave me error as long as I typed in exactly the same way, but here in Exercise 46, I am having trouble setting up my skelton project. In the book, it says to type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ mkdir -p projects&lt;br/&gt;
  $ cd projects/&lt;br/&gt;
  $ mkdir skeleton&lt;br/&gt;
  $ cd skeleton&lt;br/&gt;
  $ mkdir bin NAME tests docs&lt;br/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code></p>
  
  <p>I have already checked this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9069465/learn-python-the-hard-way-exercise-46">Learn Python the Hard Way: Exercise 46</a> but I could not do the last line "mkdir bin NAME tests docs". It (I am using Windows PowerShell) gives me an error saying:<br/></p>
  
  <pre>"mkdir : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'Name'.&lt;br/&gt;
  At line:1 char:6&lt;br/&gt;
  + mkdir &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;  bin NAME tests docs&lt;br/&gt;
      + CategoryInfo           : InvalidArgument: (:) [mkdir], ParameterBindingException&lt;br/&gt;
      + FullyQualifiedErrorID : PositionalParamaterNotFound,mkdir&lt;br/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Could anybody please tell me what is going on and how I can fix this? I am sorry this is really a basic question but is "$ mkdir bin NAME tests docs" trying to make multiple directories named "bin", "NAME", "tests", and "docs"?</p>
