Substrate - interacting with node issue

Question

I am creating my first substrate chain (online tutorial).

Installed node.js and yarn - and attempting to start node in development mode <./target/debug/node-template --dev --tmp>,

when I run code keep getting error -

no such file or directory...

Obviously, I am doing something wrong, and would like to know how to solve this issue?

Answer 1

I can think of two possible scenarios as to why you encountered the said issue:

1. Since ./target/debug/node-template is a relative path, you have to be on the ditectory where the target folder is located in
2. Build your node-template using cargo build

Answer 2

Thanks for your reply.

I have built and compiled the Node Template [substrate-node-template] using [cargo build] ...

I checked the folder [substrate-front-end-template] to ensure that [yarn] and [node.js] are installed:

• versions installed - yarn 1.22.5 / node 12.18.4

In [substrate-front-end-template] directory I run following code: ./target/debug/node-template --dev --tmp

Receive error 'is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet function......' –

Is the target folder located where I have installed yarn and node.js?
