I get this with when trying to login.

$ keybase login error: EACCES, mkdir '/home/mgifford/.local/share/keybase/keybase.idb/8d'

EACCES is likely a permission error. Are you running the command as the mgifford user, or as root? If you're running as mgifford try running sudo keybase login.

Yup, that worked.. I had to sudo on all the commands I think... Wasn't expecting that.

I believe this happens when you install keybase-installer as the root user. If you change the permissions for /home/mgifford/.local/share/keybase then you shouldn't have to do sudo every time.

sudo chown -R mgilford:mgilford /home/mgifford/.local/share/keybase

Might be good to add some more documetation to this process.
