Testing REST framework JWT Auth error

Question

So i was trying to test out the django restframework authentication token, but i ran into this error when trying to retrieve the token.

Invoke-WebRequest : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'X'.

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Invoke-WebRequest], ParameterBindingException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand

can someone explain to me what this means, and does anyone know the solution

this is what i typed into the cmd: curl -X POST -d "username=(username)&password=(password)" (the url to token)

Thanks

It seems you are trying to use the curl command in PowerShell. If this is the case, you have to install it first. See this post on how to install cURL in Windows and use it in PowerShell.
