Buildout cfg unable to open

I already typed this in the gitter community please delete if this is the wrong place!

I am getting the error

_**While:**_
_intializing_

_ Couldn’t open /home/senaite/senaite/buildout.cfg_

when I attempt to run the bin/buildout to update my VM

What is the OS of your VM?
Are you trying to open your file from cmd?
