Sencha Touch package build returns “must be run from package folder”

I'm very new to Sencha, and app development as a whole. I've followed the instructions here: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/getting_started and here: http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-1/#!/guide/native_packaging-section-7 and I'm trying to use this command to package this for testing on my android device:

sencha package build packager.json

I get this result:

[ERR] Command must be run from a package folder

I feel sure that I've done everything correctly, despite the instructions being very wrong in certain places in the documentation for Sencha. It doesn't seem to matter where I try to run this command from, it doesn't work. I'm running it from the app directory.

Did I miss a step somewhere? Where is this mythical package folder where this command will run?

Generally this should be run from root of your application folder which has app.js but if that's not working please tell us which version of Sencha SDK & Sencha Cmd you are using – ThinkFloyd
Thanks for the help ThinkFloyd--I've basically given up on Sencha as I just don't know enough of the basics to go on with. – Raevenne

I'm getting started with Sencha and I had the same problem. The correct command is:

sencha app package build packager.json

(notice the app keyword missing)

Hope it helps!
