EOS Installation Discussion

You can try to force it by using the -f flag after the checkout command. That will delete any un-commited files though. So backup any contracts if you have them saved in that directory.

If that doesn’t work I would suggest deleting the directory and just starting from the beginning by cloning. After that you should be able to follow the video and do the checkout command in the beginning.

my eos stopped working without a reason, I restarted it a few times but, previous commends don’t work, what can I do now?

Hi Filip, would you mind posting the github link that I should use in the command prompt to clone dawn v4.2 please? When I use the clone address that you use in the video I get the latest version of EOS and run into all the mess that everyone else here is running into.

What issues are you running into? Not all people in the thread have the same issue, so it’s hard for me to know what you issue is.

The tag is still dawn-v4.2.0, which can be found here https://github.com/EOSIO/eos/releases/tag/dawn-v4.2.0.

Did you run the build script and the make install command after switching tags?

I can’t create the account, I tried many method from the internet:

Which version are you running? Are you not following the course videos? I understand if not, but I need to know if I’m going to provide help for you.

If you want to do it in the way you posted. You need to provide both of the arguments required. Which is both stake-net and stake-cpu.

I did everyting exacly like in the course but then there are errors so I have to looik for diffrent commands in google. When I use command from the video I get that error:
damianjnc@Damian-PC:~$ cleos create account eosio damian11 EOS6BvXtPVJeH9HVvv2LfFM7X4fNFZYEhgQgWSrD1JfWcUHSeq5aq EOS6BvXtPVJeH9HVvv2LfFM7X4fNFZYEhgQgWSrD1JfWcUHSeq5aq
Error 3090003: Provided keys, permissions, and delays do not satisfy declared authorizations
Ensure that you have the related private keys inside your wallet and your wallet is unlocked.

how do I check the version which I am running?

Yes that is the correct way. That error message means two things, either you haven’t added the keys to your wallet or your wallet is locked. You can run the command eos wallet keys in order to see if your wallet is unlocked and if your keys are there.

Even though I’m glad to help you guys out here on the forum. I would appreciate if you google your questions before asking me. Questions like this are easy to find answers to on google. That way I can focus on more difficult questions and continue to record and update more videos in the course.

Run nodeos --version and then follow the instructions here:

My nodeos version is
damianjnc@Damian-PC:~$ nodeos --version
v1.2.5
damianjnc@Damian-PC:~$

Looks like something older, isn’t it?

The wallet is unlock and keys are there:
damianjnc@Damian-PC:~$ cleos wallet keys
[
“EOS6BvXtPVJeH9HVvv2LfFM7X4fNFZYEhgQgWSrD1JfWcUHSeq5aq”,
“EOS6MRyAjQq8ud7hVNYcfnVPJqcVpscN5So8BhtHuGYqET5GDW5CV”,
“EOS6amkkh5BZ6imcTAPCGPLKEpgvAD9FQjkEoYvo8FYippNcKrnax”
]
damianjnc@Damian-PC:~$

Version 1.2.5 is almost the newest one. The videos are not made for that version unfortunately. I will update all the eos videos within a month.

Is your nodeos up and running at the same you are trying the create the account?

yes at the same time

What’s the output if you do the command “cleos get account eosio”?

And what’s the command you used to start nodeos? With all flags included

I tried to install eos on macbook and got that error while running command checkout exacly like on the video:
users-air:eos user$ git checkout dawn-v4.2.0

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:

That’s an issue with git, not eos. Did you google it?

The easiest way to fix that is just to clone it and checkout in another directory. The problem is that you have a previous tag checked out in the same directory. You either need to commit them, clear them or just pick a new directory and delete the old one. But google will be able to help you. This is not an issue with eos.
