Trying to load the data. Before these commands, I ran the commands in [Run Dgraph | Intro | Dgraph Tour](https://dgraph.io/tour/intro/2/), then ran the schema command in the tour.

Hum, windows is a bit tricky. This can be related to the way PowerShell deals with paths. Try to use CMD instead. (I’ll check what is happening and what we can do for PowerShell).

Unfortunately it didn’t work on CMD either. Thanks though!

ohhh, I see, it is “docker exec”. it is not related to Windows. So, you have to pass/copy those files to the container. Or you can docker exec to that container and clone the files there instead. Also, you have to make sure that you are doing the whole process in the right path inside the container.

I used `docker cp` to copy the dataset into the dgraph container, then started the container and alpha and all that, and unfortunately I still get the same error ☹

Do the following.

```auto
docker exec -it dgraph sh

```

And then

```auto
curl -L -o 1million.rdf.gz "https://github.com/dgraph-io/tutorial/blob/master/resources/1million.rdf.gz?raw=true"

```

Run

```auto
ls && pwd

```

You should get

```auto
1million.rdf.gz p w zw
/dgraph

```

Now you can just run (But remember to add the schema)

```auto
dgraph live -f 1million.rdf.gz --alpha localhost:9080 --zero localhost:5080 -c 1

```

Now you can just exit

```auto
exit

```
