It seems clef is not started. Can you show the output of the step "Start Clef"?

please create the directory - seems it does not exist.

Also I do not really think having it in /usr/bin is a good idea. I think it is better if it is in the home directory of your user.

fang19911030 commented 3 years ago

The command in the link is: clef --keystore /keystore --chainid 5, the can be everywhere by user or the path to the executable geth?

ligi commented 3 years ago

it can be everywhere

fang19911030 commented 3 years ago

Cool, Solved. The explanation about CLEF_LOCATION is also very misleading.

ligi commented 3 years ago

Great! That's why I added the type:docs label ;-) If you could describe it better - ideally in a PR - that would be awesome!

just curious: why is this directory not created automatically? I installed go-ethereum through brew on macos in order to be able to run clef. after clef init, running clef gave me the error mentioned. creating Ethereum/ and Ethereum/keystore in my user's Library folder solved the problem.

are there no permissions in place for clef to create these folders by default?
