is there a way to fix metaplex uploading issue?

Question

I have recently decided that I want to learn how MetaPlex Candy-Machine work but I have been stuck for the past 4 hours.

When I run this command.

ts-node ~/metaplex/js/packages/cli/src/candy-machine-v2-cli.ts upload \
-e devnet \
-k ~/.config/solana/devnet.json \
-cp config.json \
-c example \
./assets

I get this error message

error: required option '-k, --keypair <path>' not specified
-e : The term '-e' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Windows often cannot handle those multi line commands. Try to put it all on one line like this.

ts-node ~/metaplex/js/packages/cli/src/candy-machine-v2-cli.ts upload -e devnet -k ~/.config/solana/devnet.json -cp config.json -c example ./assets

Or if you really currently start learning use sugar. It's just a different command line tool but much easier to understand: https://github.com/metaplex-foundation/sugar

is there a way to fix metaplex uploading issue?
