where did i go wrong?

created a new folder under c:\wamp\www\ called dbdiff
in cmd win, i navigate to c:\wamp\www\dbdiff\ and execute: git clone https://github.com/DBDiff/DBDiff.git
it installs with no errors.
in cmd win, i navigate to c:\wamp\www\dbdiff\DBDiff\ and execute: composer install
everything installs with no errors.
i created '.dbdiff' file in c:\wamp\www\dbdiff\DBDiff\ (or should it be created in www\dbdiff\ folder?)
i set my db params for both servers in .dbdiff file and save it.
in cmd win, from c:\wamp\www\dbdiff\DBDiff\ folder i type: ./dbdiff
windows gives message that '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command.

thank you for any help

I'm having this exact same issue... I think the documentation isn't very clear about this. @jhbsk, what is it we're doing wrong?

@Rubenvanhoeyveld, @markh1, you should run it as:
php dbdiff <options>
documentation is not very clear indeed :)
