I'm trying to generate MBTiles file using tippecanoe and to do that first I am converting a shape file downloaded from Geofabric downloads to a GeoJSON file using ogr2ogr and then using that GeoJSON file to MBTiles file using tippecanoe.
The step I'm stuck on is this
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON turk.geojson turkmenistan-latest-free.shp
The file which I downloaded from Geofabric is a .shp.zip file - https://download.geofabrik.de/asia/turkmenistan-latest-free.shp.zip. On extracting this zip file I get a folder which contains various files like gis_osm_buildings_a_free_1.cpg etc. However, there was no turkmenistan-latest-free.shp file - or one .shp file which contained all of Turkmenistan.
When I run ogr2ogr command directly on the folder which was extracted out of the .zip file, I get this error
ERROR 1: Layer 'gis_osm_landuse_a_free_1' does not already exist in the output dataset, and cannot be created by the output driver.
ERROR 1: Terminating translation prematurely after failed
translation of layer gis_osm_landuse_a_free_1 (use -skipfailures to skip errors)
If I run the same command with -skipfailures, I get more errors

However, on inspecting the folder all these files already exist in it, but ogr2ogr is somehow unable to find it. These are the files in the folder

What am I doing incorrectly here and how can I properly generate the GeoJSON file?
