Private block chain error: --datadir: command not found error

[warren8r]

Hello, I am trying/testing your app, but I am running into the following error when creating the private block chain: "--datadir: command not found" I am new to this, but the syntax seems ok. Not sure what the problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Could you please refer to my medium article for setting up private blockchain. If you still get some errors please get back to me with screenshots.

Hello, Step 6 is causing Geth to continually run, which means I cannot run step 7. Shall I interrupt step 6 to run step 7?

Actually, you can. Though that is downloading the ethereum blockchain data on your system. You should avoid that. Please put the commands carefully it will open up JavaScript console.

Hello, I am just copy and pasting your command and getting an endless stream of etherium status. I notice in your screenshot that you are only getting a few lines before the console opens. Mine has not stopped. I am also seeing a synchronization error at the end. Here is a screenshot:

Indeed. As I mentioned it ia downloading the ethereum blockchain on your system. Please check genesis.json file and all the config files it should work that way as for me.
