`keybase gen` fails if ~/.gnupg dir doesn't exist

$ keybase gen
error: `gpg` exited with code 2

Solved easily by created the dir.

Same here. Went through the Debian/Ubuntu prerequisites to install gnupg and nodejs-legacy, and installed keybase for the first time.

It wasn't just gen, e.g. login and pull expect ~/.gnupg to exist as well.

$ keybase login
Your keybase login passphrase: ********************************

Same versions as OP:

I've not used CoffeeScript or the "iced" variety. Is there a way to check if exists? before returning (and, if it's false, creating the folder)?

Same happened to me, keybase v0.8.5 and Node v.4.2.2. Just create the folder to fix it.

running gpg fixed it for me
