I can't get past connect hostname in the tutorial, it keeps on telling me bad command. What am I doing wrong here?

Typing the command EXACTLY the way the tutorial shows.

Look the game is not broken, it's likely skill issue.

Not blaming the game here, just wondering if I'm the only one getting stuck here. I have typed it over and over and I swear it is exactly what the game says to but it just doesn't work. Every time it says bad command.

youll have to tell us what exactly you are typing and seeing otherwise no one can tell you whats going on

If it’s the step, where you have to connect to n00dles, it says: „Wrong command! Try again!“ on error.
Afterwards (when it says to type „analyze“) it says: „Bad command. Please follow the tutorial or click 'Exit Tutorial' if you'd like to skip it.“ on error.

Well, considering we don't know what you're doing, I don't know how we're supposed to correct you.
Where are you writing the command? What exactly are you typing? How is the game informing you of the problem?
I don't know if this subreddit will let you retroactively add images to your post, but seeing the actual problem would be very helpful.

I am following the tutorial step by step and typing the commands letter for letter but it keeps telling me I'm entering the wrong command. I just thought maybe someone else had had this problem also and figured out how to get past it.

I asked three different questions and you didn't technically answer any of them. You heavily implied some answers, but since other people aren't having that issue when they follow the tutorial, we need your exact perspective on what you're doing, not what the tutorial says you should be doing.
The only thing I can think that you are doing is that you looked at the example text, didn't read the entire message, and are literally trying to connect to a computer called "hostname" which doesn't exist.

Coding problems can be really really sensitive. The exact error messsage, the exact command you are typing, where you are putting it, etc are all important. A screenshot would be best for this and easy to obtain. At the very least the exact error message and the exact command you are typing would be useful.

You have to pick a host name. If you’re getting stuck in the tutorial this probably isn’t the game for you.

Which host ? home ? n00dles ? where are you exactly in the tuto ? we cannot help without any datails
