bin/init gives mutagen daemon error

[S0nathan]

This is probably not an issue, but I'm not sure where else to ask for help.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, I have installed docker-compose-plugin (2.16.0) along the other docker stuff and docker-compose (1.29.2), as this repo uses "docker-compose" and not "docker compose". I downloaded the mutagen-compose binary (0.16.5), put it in /usr/local/bin and rebooted. (Also edited /etc/hosts.)

When I run sudo bin/init, I get the following output:

This also happens on a complete fresh run (= after deleting all images & the repo).

ps auxf | grep mutagen gives:

My only idea is a version mismatch, but I don't properly know what's going on anyway.

[S0nathan]

root wasn't finding the mutagen command (student was though for some reason), which means if you ran as sudo, "mutagen daemon start" couldn't be executed. I ended up putting the mutagen binary in /usr/local/bin as well, which fixed it.
