RunProcess does not run shell commands (things you might type into your terminal). It runs processes, as the name suggests.
If you want to run shell commands, then you have these options:
Run(it does not give you the output)
Import["!yourcommand", "String"]or similar (to get the output)- Run your shell with
RunProcess/StartProcessand pass the commands to it on its standard input.StartProcesshas an example like this. - For this specific task, run
cmd.exewith the/cflag and tell it what to execute.RunProcesshas an example like this.
