Hello everyone,
I just installed IPFS as described on the website. When I try to run “>ipfs swarm peers” then following appears:
INFO [09-22|15:18:32.580] Maximum peer count ETH=25 LES=0 total=25
Fatal: bzzaccount option is required but not set; check your config file, command line or environment variables
I can not go further afterwards.
Kind regards,
Yannick
That seems unrelated to IPFS. Are you running any other software together with IPFS?
Hey,
thanks for answering.
No not any other programs are open.
Where did you download the ipfs binary from? Which website are you following the instructions from?
That looks like an ethereum swarm issue rather than an IPFS issue.
Hello @leerspace,
downloaded and installed from https://docs.ipfs.io/introduction/install/ and did the pre installed package.
Maybe because during install my ethereum wallet was running?
Almost certainly. I don’t know why that error is happening, but it’s not originating from IPFS.
Is the IPFS daemon running when you run the ipfs swarm peers command?
@leerspace
Daemon was running yes. I am just following first general usage tutorial https://docs.ipfs.io/introduction/usage/
okay then I would try to reinstall everything but I would also like to delete the first “init” files such as the private keys etc. so that IPFS thinks it is completely first time on this PC. Is that possible? I will then install without Ethereum Wallet running.
If you want to remove everything before starting over, you can delete the .ipfs directory in your home folder (unless you moved it from the default location). If it’s in the default location, you can remove it using rm -rf ~/.ipfs.
alright I deleted the ipfs file from bin and installed everything again with myetherwallet closed.
Worked!
Thank you so much !
Best regards
