ERROR - jmeter.report.dashboard.ReportGenerator: Cannot create temporary directory "temp".

You need to provide a writable location for the temp directory.

https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/properties_reference.html

jmeter.reportgenerator.temp_dir

Sets the temporary directory used by the generation process if it needs file I/O operations. Defaults to: temp

Try the following command: 

jmeter -g <.jtl file location> -o <Path to output folder>

or

jmeter -n -t <test JMX file> -l <test log file> -e -o <Path to output folder>

Also, Ensure JMeter has the rights to create and write in the folder "temp"(output directory).

Following is the syntax to generate Dashboard report from existing csv file:

jmeter -g <log file> -o <Path to output folder>

here,

-g log file name (can be absolute file path also)
-o output folder but not file name (can be absolute folder path)

Note: If you give absolute paths and if it contains spaces in the path, then keep the absolute path in double quotes.

eg:

jmeter -g sample.csv "D:/temp folder/"

here, the assumption is that sample.csv is present in bin directory of JMeter. (same directory as jmeter.bat)
