Hi, I am new to hubspot. I connected my local development tools to hubspot yesterday. Today running [hs watch my-theme] is asking for destination path.

Shown in below screenshot

The destination path is the folder in HubSpot Designer Manager you want your files to be uploaded to. You just add it directly after your source.

`hs watch <src> <dest>`

For example, if you want to upload it to the top level of the design manager directory with the same folder name as your source it would just be:

`hs watch my-website-theme my-website-theme`

The HubSpot developer documentation will have most of what you need to know. Though it is _a lot_ of content, that can be a little confusing to navigate starting out, so here’s some specific links in the documentation:

[HubSpot CLI commands](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/developer-reference/local-development-cli)

[Themes Overview](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/building-blocks/themes)

And these are the pages I keep in my bookmarks to go back to often:

[Module and theme fields](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/building-blocks/module-theme-fields)

[HubL Variables](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/variables)

[Drag and Drop Areas HubL Tags](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/hubl/tags/dnd-areas#drag-and-drop-module-code-dnd-module-code-)

It’s a server error, so not usually something wrong with your code. I usually restart my terminal and/or wait a bit to see if it stops. Only other suggestion would be to contact HubSpot Support as the error says to.
