I have been trying to compile my code using g++ main.cpp -L <path to library folder> -l <libraryname>
I have downloaded the SFML package onto my Desktop with a file path of /Users/Erica/Desktop/SFML
The file I a trying to compile is also on the Desktop, "Graphics.cpp"
I have tried putting "Graphics.hpp" and "sgml-graphics" for the library name
No matter what I do I keep getting this message when I compile:
Graphics.cpp:3:10: fatal error: 'SFML/Graphics.hpp' file not found
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
I am completely out of ideas for compiling, I have tried every solution on 4 pages of google for this issue and I am continuing to get this same error. I have attached a screen shot.
PLEASE HELP ME COMPILE IM GOING CRAZYYYY

You should take a moment to read the manpage, you're completely mixing the meaning of your compiler options.

try
-I instead of -L
-I /users/Erica/Desktop/SFML/include -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
