How to use Bash to create a folder if it doesn't already exist?

Question

#!/bin/bash
if [!-d /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db]; then
    mkdir -p /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db;
fi;

This doesn\'t seem to work. Can anyone help?<

There is actually no need to check whether it exists or not. Since you already wants to create it if it exists , just mkdir will do

mkdir -p /home/mlzboy/b2c2/shared/db
