Lesson 5- problems with setting PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD

[Joaszek]

Hi, currently I'm having a problem with with setting password in cmd. It may be a stupid question but I'm a beginner and I don't know why I get this error:
PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD=password : The term 'PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD=password' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

The command looks like this:
PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD=password node deploy.js

.env file has only RPC_URL

@Joaszek Use git bash terminal

It is very command, it does not work with pre-installed CMD

Hey @Joaszek the normal windows command line has problems with passing env variables on the terminal. so try and use another terminal you could use git bash terminal as @alymurtazamemon has suggested above. Otherwise, you could just resort to writing PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD in the .env file if using git bash with inconvenience you. It is much more reliable that way.
