Difficulty running q from command line

The installation instructions on the kx website say to type C:username\q\w32\q. My command line doesn’t recognize this, despite the downloaded files apparently existing in the directory hierarchy. Any advice?  

Hi! 

I am not sure I understand the problem you have but if you want to  execute q you have to type C:\q\w32\q which is the advised location for installing q. 

See this link for more information: http://code.kx.com/q/tutorials/install/#microsoft-windows

Also, you can press “cd /” to navigate to your home directory and then navigate to where you installed q by using “cd” to go into a directory and “dir” to see a list of files and folders in that directory. 

Cheers!
