I have downloaded elastic search and kibana, extracted them both into a folder called elastic stack and when trying to run elastic search in the command prompt it comes up with this error. Any ideas how to resolve this?. I am using windows 10 to try install. Thank you

Welcome to our community! 😃
Please don't post pictures of text, they are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂
Try removing the space in the directory name, that should help

My bad figured it would be easier showing the command prompt. That seemed to work thank you
