The command dat store install-serviceresults in:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/dat-store/index.js:126
    if (e) throw e
           ^

Error: writeFile(/etc/init.d/dat-store) failed: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/etc/init.d/dat-store'

Right now I don't think dat-store is intended for use on macs, instead can you try running dat-store run-service?

beingalink commented 5 years ago

I made this issue by request of @RangerMauve on irc. He said he wanted to look for a module that supports macos, too. As launchd should be similar enough to systemd, I think this would make sense.

@beingalink thanks! so run-service works for you?

beingalink commented 5 years ago

Yes, run-serviceseems to work, at least there's no error message but a json line with server information. I didn't try running a real dat though.

Gonna close this for now, a PR for README for manually setting up a service on mac would be nice.
