2,057 PointsThe WordPress Setup & Command in The Teachers Notes Aren't Working
Hey guys,
I am stuck and I am not sure if I have done something wrong.
When I initially went through the video, the command prompt told me that the command wasn't an external or internal command and now (as you can see from this screenshot: https://gyazo.com/261e2bfb3c5ac5d5cafcb651d7bb1f00) it's telling me that it can't find the path.
Next, I am not sure if it's because of the first issue but the WordPress setup page that's supposed to work at localhost/WordPress isn't working (Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/65bebc1ef67ac1a33976593cb0f4c9a2).
Would love some help on this. Sorry, I am new to this all.

First, it looks like those command prompt screenshots you're posting are to reset your MySQL password. Unless you've been specifically instructed to do so, I wouldn't attempt to change those. If you need to, check out this documentation from MAMP to do so.
For more help setting up WordPress and MAMP, definitely give that WPMUDev article a read. And if MAMP proves to be too big of a pain, there are tools like Local by FlyWheel that can help speed up the process.
