hello @CrispyButter brownie requires a empty folder to create a new project, so please create a new folder and create the project there. |

How exactly do I create a brand new file? I thought mkdir brownie_simple_storage was a new folder? Do you mean create a new project all together? If, so do I have to activate a new virtual environment and install py-solcx and all the other things as well? |

I mean your folder just must to be empty, that's all. And yes creating a folder with mkdir should work. As you are using python envs, do not use brownie init on the folder you have the env, I would recommend to have two folders:
so move to the dev folder (cd dev) and start the project there with Give it a try. |

I think it might be because I pip install cython and then pip install cytoolz after receiving the error below. and after installing those I THEN did pip install eth-brownie which worked. but then I ran into the original problem when trying to do brownie init. Any help or if I can set aside time for a video conference that would be awesome. I really want to move forward on the course ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: |
