aurto init says "cat: /usr/lib/aurto/user: No such file or directory" #62

New to aurto, found my way here by the aurget maintainer recommending it. I'm following the install instructions and I'm getting stuck at this point:

# aurto init
cat: /usr/lib/aurto/user: No such file or directory

# aurto status
cat: /usr/lib/aurto/user: No such file or directory

# ls /usr/lib/aurto/
total 508K

What have I missed?

That file is created when calling aurto init. Are you perhaps running that as root? It should be run via some user that aurto will use for non-root aur calls.

There should be a better error message in this case for sure.

Ah, that was the issue! I'm running it on a server and I didn't want it tied to my user account, that was why. A "don't run as root" message would indeed be helpful!
