zsh: no such file or directory

I'm trying to install a Theme for Prezto on my OSX Yosemite and following given instructions.

When I run this command mentioned as third step

# Install the prompt
curl https://raw.github.com/davidjrice/prezto_powerline/master/prompt_powerline_setup > ~/.zsh.prompts/prompt_powerline_setup

I get this error

zsh: no such file or directory: /Users/jitendravyas/.zsh.prompts/prompt_powerline_setup

I installed curl using Homebrew and curl --version shows this output

curl 7.37.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0) libcurl/7.37.1 SecureTransport zlib/1.2.5
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
Features: AsynchDNS GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz

Which seems to me that curl is working. I don't know what is there problem. Why this command not working.

The directory /Users/jitendravyas/.zsh.prompts/ does not exist. While the output redirection > will create files if they do not exist, the parent directory has to exist beforehand. Error messages can be a bit vague in what exactly does not exist.

Just do

mkdir ~/.zsh.prompts
curl https://raw.github.com/davidjrice/prezto_powerline/master/prompt_powerline_setup > ~/.zsh.prompts/prompt_powerline_setup

and it should work.
