Issue creating a module project in java 9

Question

I am trying to set up a basic java project using java commands in windows 10 following a tutorial. The files are

C:\Users\Talon\Desktop\java intellij\01j9\src\com.me.mymodule\module-info.java C:\Users\Talon\Desktop\java intellij\01j9\src\com.me.mymodule\com\me\mymodule\Main.java

and an empty folder C:\Users\Talon\Desktop\java intellij\01j9\mods\com.me.mymodule.

module-info.java

module com.me.mymodule {}

Main.java

package com.me.mymodule;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World from Module");
    }
}

After getting 'cd' into C:\Users\Talon\Desktop\java intellij\01j9> the command i'm supposed to enter is

javac -d mods/com.me.mymodule \ src/com.me.mymodule/module-info.java \ src/com.me.mymodule/com/me/mymodule/Main.java

but it's written for machintosh os, so in windows i tried

javac -d mods/com.me.mymodule;src/com.me.mymodule/module-info.java;src/com.me/mymodule/com/me/mymodule/Main.java

and

javac -d mods\com.me.mymodule;src\com.me.mymodule\module-info.java;src\com.me\mymodule\com\me\mymodule\Main.java

In both i have javac: no source files. Are the path wrong or i am supposed to enter a different command ?

This describes the JDK9's javac command-line tool syntax.

Your command should be

javac -d mods\com.me.mymodule src\com.me.mymodule\module-info.java src\com.me\mymodule\com\me\mymodule\Main.java

Where both the module-info.java and Main.java are "sourceFiles", while -d mods\com.me.mymodule specifies a target directory.
