It's hard to know exactly what is going wrong here, but as a guess it looks like the single quotes around parts of the command have been replaced with "smart quotes", which might be causing an issue. Try copy and pasting the following:

curl -k --cacert "$(./mkcert -CAROOT)/rootCA.pem" -d '{"username":"demo","password":"password"}' -H 'Content-Type:application/json' https://localhost:4567/users
