geth Fatal Failed to read genesis file open home edureka privatechain no such file or directory

+1 vote

When I run this command:

geth --datadir “/home/user/privatechain/data” init “/home/user/privatechain/” 

I get error:

 Fatal: Failed to read genesis file: open “/home/user/privatechain/”: no such file or directory 

But the file exists there: 

pwd 

/home/user/privatechain 

user@user:~/privatechain$ ls
