Lesson 5: Encrypted Private Key Password issue while deploying deploy.js @7:47:26

[magphis]

//deploy.js
const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs");
require("dotenv").config();

async function main() {

const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.RPC_URL); 
const encryptedJson = fs.readFileSync("./.encryptedKey.json", "utf-8");
let wallet = new ethers.Wallet.fromEncryptedJsonSync(
    encryptedJson,
    process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD
  );
  wallet = await wallet.connect(provider);

//encryptKey.js
const ethers = require("ethers");
const fs = require("fs");
require("dotenv").config();

async function main() {
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
  const encryptedJsonKey = await wallet.encrypt(
    process.env.PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD,
    process.env.PRIVATE_KEY
  );
  console.log(encryptedJsonKey);
  fs.writeFileSync("./.encryptedKey.json", encryptedJsonKey);
}

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(error);
    process.exit(1);
  });

I am getting the issue below, in the terminal when I deploy deploy.js with the private password: PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD=password node deploy.js

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.

@magphis Can you please show me the result after typing

pwd

And

ls

where you write this password command.

@magphis I do not see any issue in encryptKey.js and deploy.js files. As the result say and I search for it on google, all say that either that is a spelling problem while creating a file or a path problem. please check these two.

Your result also say it:

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was
included, verify that the path is correct, and try again.

Just realized that I was running with powershell instead of bash, my bad. Thanks for your support!
