I’m following off this guide [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md#install-discourse) to install discourse/docker/ on digitalocean. When I get to .the point where I need to type in ./discourse-setup  
I get told that there is no such file. I’m in root as well am I suppose to type something before typing ./discourse-setup

in which directory you are now? You must be in Discourse installation path (in most cases `~/var/discourse`)

I’m in /var/discourse but ./disourse-setup still isn’t working. This is what it gives me below  
bash: ./discourse-setup: No such file or directory

I did everything correctly before this step. I remember running into this problem on my last droplet. Can’t remember how i fixed it.

check spelling and make sure you have `discourse-setup` file by running `ls` command

```bash
:var/discourse$ ls

```

Resolved:  
I put this:  
git clone [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git)  
Instead of this: git clone [GitHub - discourse/discourse\_docker: A Docker image for Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker.git) /var/discourse

Thank you for the help
