Can someone please share the Windows version of the “Building and Using the Wallet Tool” set up steps here https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj?

I tried doing this

1.      C:\Gradle\bitcoinj>gradle bitcoinj-tools:installDist 

2.      C:\Gradle\bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin>wallet-tool.bat 

They both seemed to work because it showed a list of valid values but I could get the next three to work

3.      mkdir \bitcoinj\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin\wallet-tool.bat --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet create

I've attached what I can see in after this point 3

I haven't been able to do these next two steps and I'm not sure what exactly to write in the command line and from which folder. 

4.      .\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin\wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet sync 

5.      .\tools\build\install\wallet-tool\bin\wallet-tool --net=TEST --wallet=$HOME\bitcoinj\bitcoinj-test.wallet dump 

Sorry I understand this is probably really easy but I’m a beginner

Thanks :)

re step 3:

mkdir ~/bitcoinj

is on its own command line.

./tools/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TEST
--wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet create

is then the next command.

I'll make this clearer in the README.
