So I just installed 1/2 NExT chips. post coming about that soon. I’m just setting up my proxmark and followed this guide Getting started with the proxmark3 easy
I got to setting up the makefile.platform but when notepad opened there wasn’t any text. Where should I go from here? OS is windows 10
Make sure it’s Makefile.platform, with a capital M. Did you copy Makefile.platform.sample like the guide says? That should have pre-populated Makefile.platform.
cp Makefile.platform.sample Makefile.platform
Yep, I did, unless I made a dumb mistake I’m not picking up.
I also saved it under C:\ProxSpace so there shouldn’t be issues with installation
You missed an F in platform there in your last command 
You wrote Makefile.platorm, not Makefile.platform.
I’m an idiot. Apologies to everyone. These are the mistakes that plague my life. Thank you though

awesome thanks man. I’ll keep that in mind. So far so good though. About to flash proxmark
Edit: Ok @darthdomo I think I do actually need help again. I can’t seem to get the ‘lf hid fskdemod’ to work, it just seems to be spitting out the list of commands (like linux does when you enter a command it doesn’t like. I did however get it to work using the ‘If hid reader’ command. I’m not quite sure whats going wrong (I’m using the guide here RFID Hacking with The Proxmark 3 and I am just trying to clone my HID prox card
that being said I was trying to run it in client, which may have had something to do with it

All of the commands have help so try lf hid --help
If that lists fskdemod then try lf hid fskdemod --help

So, I would keep in mind, the command structure has changed dramatically since that article was written. If you’re just trying to clone your card, you should be able to do lf hid clone -r ID_HERE, with ID being whatever hex value was shown in lf hid reader.

Just remember, that blog guide is dated

There has been some syntax changes since then.
I would recommend you going through in steps
lf
lf hid
lf hid ...
etc…
it should prompt you with your available next input options…
UPDATE
Yeah, What @darthdomo said

Ahhh ok. That makes sense yeah. Perfect, thank you for the help. I’ll continue to go ahead in that case. It’s funny. The installation was the easiest part of it
Edit: putting this here since I didn’t want to make a whole extra post for it. I wasn’t typing “Lf” I was constantly typing “if” so no wonder none of the commands worked. At least I solved it eventually
