Can't use mkdir in NPM script from Windows

This module possibly will solve your problem: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mkdirp

You can use npx plus mkdirp for a relatively lightweight, portable solution without global installs

Add this to package.json:

"scripts": {
  "create-dir": "npx mkdirp _site/assets",
}

And then use like this:

$ npm run create-dir

Npm is using the windows mkdir command, not the linux. Use

"setup": "mkdir .\\my-dir"

Use backslashes.

You can also install cygwin and run:

/cygwin64/bin/mkdir -p mydir
