MRAB,
The root shell's (#) what I assumed. User shells (in bash, anyway) have $ as
the prompt.
Regardless,
$ faker -o temp.out faker.names()

It does not work from the bash command line as a user or as root.
The "root shell prompt (#)" suggests to me that it's Linux, so if you're
using Windows you'll need to use the equivalent for Windows.
I don't do windows; defenestrated 24 years ago.
