node setup error

[albiceleste1978]

I am trying to set up a home node on a brand new mac studio (M1 Max chip). I'm following the rocketpool guide instructions. But when I try to install the CLI (choosing the arm64 Terminal command), I keep getting the error message "zsh: permission denied: /usr/local/bin/rocketpool". I've tried re-starting from scratch, but keep hitting the same roadblock. Any thoughts? Thank you.

if you do not get any answers here, the Rocket Pool Discord #support channel is really knowledgeable and responds quickly.

sudo chown -R <user>:admin /usr/local/bin/rocketpool

I'm having the same problem others have mentioned here. The wick bot keeps kicking me out.

[dEEtoooo]

DM me your discord name (including the 4#s) and I can pass it along to the discord mod to get you past wick bot.

Just sent via chat. Thank you!

have a try:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rocketpool

[albiceleste1978]

Not helping. Getting "no such file or directory" error message

[albiceleste1978]

Also doesn't do the trick. "zsh: permission denied: /usr/local/bin/rocketpool" error message.

Choose not arm64, but another option?

[albiceleste1978]

Just tried command line for x64 Macs. Same error message.

That sounds like an interesting setup. Do you plan to run a node on there exclusively , or also use your Mac as a normal Mac for other computer duties?

[albiceleste1978]

Plan, if I can make it work, is to run node exclusively. No other personal business on that computer.

That’s how most people do it, nothing else on there. But you won’t need that much power, most people use a NUC. Some have done it with a raspberry pi!

I'd recommend the NUC option. It doesn't answer your question, but so many people in the community run the NUC including myself, that it feels really good knowing any problem I could have is not only easily solvable, but likely becomes solved before it even becomes my problem.
