Having trouble displaying an image

I've been trying to display an image of the avatar on matlab and have been using A=imread('avatar.jpg') but it keeps coming up with the error- Undefined function 'getFileFromURL' for input arguments of type 'char'. I was wondering what I can do to fix this problem

The file is not in the path.

@Meg Noah, that error would not come from the file not existing. Instead you'd get this:

>> A = imread('avatar.jpg')

Error using imread>get_full_filename (line 570)

File "avatar.jpg" does not exist.

Error in imread (line 377)

fullname = get_full_filename(filename);

@Kendall Donahoe, attach your jpg file with the paperclip icon so we can try it ourselves.

This works:

A = imread('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/569324/avatar.jpg');

You need to specify the entire path to the image's location.

im = imread('/path/to/image/avatar.jpg');

Another option would be copy/move the image to your current location and then read the image.

im = imread('avatar.jpg');
