Bug_0 about algoranddevelopment HOT 3 CLOSED

Update

I tried creating a new virtual environment and re-installing from scratch. However, there is still an error in finding the files downloaded to the machine. This is most likely a pathing problem. The following code maps the command line syntax I used, the error read out, an alternative, and another error read out.

//// Install on Mac
// cd node
// curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/algorand/go-algorand-doc/master/downloads/installers/update.sh -O
// chmod 544 update.sh
// ./update.sh -i -c stable -p ~/node -d ~/node/data -n

//// Installing the Devtools
// If algorand has not been previously installed, it will automatically download it.
// If algorand is installed but older than the devtools, it will automatically upgrade it.

//// Start node
// sudo systemct1 start algorand
// ERROR: sudo: systemct1: command not found

// goal node status -d /var/lib/algorand
// ERROR: -bash: goal: command not found

Essentially the problem across the board is that the machine cannot find the commands. Next step is to find a way to create a clear path forward, to allow the commands to be appropriately identified and executed.

Update

I did some work on path and command line syntax to understand the problem better. I created a repository, NodeInstall dedicated to working on this problem and developing command line syntax for installing a node. The repository focuses on the following the Algorand install instructions, the command not found error, and pathing.

The problem is solved.

export PATH="$HOME/node:$PATH"
export ALGORAND_DATA="$HOME/node/data"
goal node start
goal node status
