Not much context to it.

export essential='/Users/mac/Desktop/AP\ Prep/javatest/essentials'

cd "$essential"

Yields this error: 

-bash: cd: /Users/mac/Desktop/AP\ Prep/javatest/essentials: No such file or directory

The cd command is correct : 

cd /Users/mac/Desktop/AP\ Prep/javatest/essentials works.

It looks fine ...I've tried it with double quotes and no quotes as well. Help please???

  • don't use backslashes as scape char inside single quotes; you don't need to scape spaces inside single quotes. – alsjflalasjf.dev Jul 23 '19 at 01:49
  • The bash manual tells you what double quotes to: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#Double-Quotes -- also read the section just above that about single quotes. – glenn jackman Jul 23 '19 at 02:14
