Issues installing on MacOS #34

Closed ByronBecker closed 2 years ago

Issue

Was recently following this wiki installing both quill and keysmith to create an NNS Proposal and wasn't able to get keysmith installed (but Quill works fine).

My Setup

MacBook Pro 2019 - 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 macOS Monterey - Version 12.2.1

Steps taken (keysmith-darwin-arm64.tar.gz)

  1. Download keysmith-darwin-arm64.tar.gz from releases.
  2. Follow the installation instructions in the README.
  3. Attempt to invoke keysmith with % keysmith
  4. Result: zsh: bad CPU type in executable: keysmith

After the darwin-arm64 seemed to not be compatible, I tried the linux-arm64 executable just to make sure, but of course no cigar there.

Question

I see that quill has a specific mac-os release but keysmith does not. Does this mean that MacOS users should use any capable tool to generate a SHA256 key pair and pass the public key to quill, or should we specifically use keysmith?

Tagging @enzoh @timohanke for visibility.

Closing, as I just saw the new Deprecation PR come in - will move to quill

@ByronBecker You downloaded the ARM binary, but you are using an Intel computer. You need to download the correct binary for your system. For you that would be keysmith-darwin-amd64.tar.gz.
