What version of dat-store and dat-js do you have?

[da2x]

$ dat -v
> 13.12.2
$ dat store -v
> dat-store add <url>
>
> Add a Dat to your storage provider.

$ dat store --version
> 1.0.2

I think the problem is that you didn't run a store locally and didn't configure a remote store.

I'll add a better error message.

In the meantime, you can run one of the following:

# Run a store in a process
# Will close when you exit
dat store run-service

# Install the store as a service on Linux or Windows
dat store install-service
# You can uninstall it later with
dat store uninstall-service

This should be addressed by https://github.com/datproject/dat-store/commit/27312d7b334f55fe961bfcc06f57b992cbe526c1

If you run dat store then you’re not given any information other than the add command.

[RangerMauve]

That's because the default command is dat store add. Use dat store --help for the full info.
