It looks like Microsoft Office or similar quote-damaged your command. Make sure the quotes are plain ASCII straight quotes. Comparison between your command and what it should look like:

```plaintext
curl -XPUT ‘localhost:9200/twitter/_settings’ -d ‘{“index”: {“codec”: “best_compression”}}’
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9200/twitter/_settings' -d '{"index": {"codec": "best_compression"}}'

```
