RE: project: bullfrog-system | Mine STEEM with ease

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

Similar to Windows, in 'Nix, if a command is not in your $PATH (run "echo $PATH" to see), it will not "find" it. You have to specify a command's path manually if that's the case.

I didn't set up '/home/frog/bin' as a default path as a security precaution for now. You have to include the full path when calling the command:

sudo /home/frog/bin/config-steemd.bash miner Or use ~/, which represents $HOME (/home/frog):
sudo ~/bin/config-steemd.bash miner
Or even:
sudo $HOME/config-steemd.bash miner
Sort:  

Thanks again for your help! I am making some progress I think! This is what happened this time:

frog@xxx:/home/xxx$ /home/frog/bin/config-steemd.bash miner
realpath: /var/local/steemd/configs/config.miner.ini: Permission denied
/home/frog/bin/config-steemd.bash: line 14: cd: /var/local/steemd/witness_node_data_dir: Permission denied
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'config.ini': Permission denied
chown: cannot access 'config.ini': No such file or directory

realpath: /var/local/steemd/configs/config.miner.ini: Permission denied

You have to use sudo (Super User Do) on that one. That script is trying to alter a system file so it needs administrator privileges when running, thus the "Permission denied".

sudo /home/frog/bin/config-steemd.bash miner

You're getting there! Keep hacking at it.
