Granary originate not working

[nicosampler]

Hi, I'm having a problem trying the originate command. It fails with this message Error: Specified -base-dir does not exist. Please create the directory and try again.

my folder structure is:

tezos-defi-dev-experience
  -- tezos-ligo
    -- v1-public-pool.tz

and the command is:
granary client - originate contract v1-public-pool for contractOwner transferring 0 from contractOwner running $PWD/tezos-ligo/v1-public-pool.tz --burn-cap 0.295 --dry-run

where contractOwner is the alias for the wallet.
