Oh, hello!

The issue is that your current working directory is C:\Windows\System32.

When you open a terminal on Windows, it often starts in that directory by default.

That's a "system" directory for windows.

Because of this, when you run the boosty-downloader download command, boosty-downloader tries to find its config file inside C:\Windows\System32.

You need to change the current directory first using the cd command.
For example, to switch to your Desktop:

cd "C:\Users\<YOUR_USERNAME>\Desktop"

After that when you start boosty-downloader again it will create the config file, which you should fill with your auth/cookie.

boosty-downloader is a CLI utility, meaning it works entirely inside the terminal. You need some basic knowledge of how to navigate directories in the terminal to use it correctly.
