Hi! Which macOS version are you running on your machine?
As a quick fix you can also try if the cask 'git-jiro/jiro-casks/gridcoin' works fine for you instead. Since the cask is a pre-compiled version of gridcoin there is no need to compile it yourself.
-running Big Sur v11.6 -I tried your suggestion 'git-jiro/jiro-casks/gridcoin' and grid coin installed -when I attempt to run gridcoin I get the following message.
Error: Cannot read configuration file. Please check the path and format of the file
-when I look for the Gridcoin folder under "/users/USER/Library/Application Support/" there is no folder relating to gridcoin at all
The folder should be "/users/USER/Library/Application Support/GridcoinResearch" and the config file is "gridcoinresearch.conf"
a minimal configfile would look like: email=your.email.address@here
here are the other details of the config file: https://gridcoin.us/wiki/config-file.html
The folder should be "/users/USER/Library/Application Support/GridcoinResearch" and the config file is "gridcoinresearch.conf"
a minimal configfile would look like: email=your.email.address@here
the folder is not located at the specified place you referenced. I searched my computer for the config file "gridcoinresearch.conf" and one is not found. I tried to add the gridcoin research folder manually (right click -> add new folder->...) to the application support file but the OS will not allow it.
Is there a command I can run in Terminal to build that file and everything that is suppose to be contained in it?
Please forgive me I'm new to programming.
Ok, then we just found the problem! I just tried to create a random folder under "/users/USER/Library/Application Support/" via Finder and that worked without any issues.
As far as I know Girdcoin usually creates the folder itself, and since you are not allowed to create the folder, Gridcoin most probably is also not allowed to create the folder.
I am not yet sure how to fix that issue on your machine.
Maybe you can try to use "First Aid" function in "Disk Utility" to try to repair the file system permissions? But make a system backup first, because you never know.
received this message after trying to install Gridcoin today using the command: brew install gridcoin
