Not sure what this error is saying. Is there something wrong with my config file? Here is my config file:  
version: 2  
jobs:  
build:  
working\_directory: /tmp  
docker:  
- image: node:7.4.0  
steps:  
- checkout  
- run: npm install  
- run: ng build  
- deploy:  
command: |  
if [“${CIRCLE\_BRANCH}” == ‘staging’]; then  
aws s3 cp --recursive ./dist s3://my-bucket/  
fi

And here is a link to the failed build. [https://circleci.com/gh/cornelltech/uni-client/325](https://circleci.com/gh/cornelltech/uni-client/325)

Thanks.

Try indenting your deploy steps two more spaces?

```auto
      - deploy: 
          command: |
            if ["${CIRCLE_BRANCH}" == 'staging']; then
              aws s3 cp --recursive ./dist s3://staging-unicornucopia/
            fi

```
