Hi, I am new to Algorand, i am trying to setup an environment for development, i started a node, but i am not able to install the devTools, i dunno i am missing, i tried to go through all the documentation again, but didn’t find anything helpful. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

From your goal node status -d data output I see that algod is running (although it looks stuck because the “Last committed block” is old and “Sync time” is not increasing (until fully syncedd). Also, this node is connected to the MainNet as indicated by “Genesis ID” and “Genesis hash”. If you want …

Welcome @zeeshanmazhar glad you are here, let’s get you sorted :slight_smile: Please help me understand the documentation you followed already, so I can make changes to improve going forward. Did you read within the README.md of the GitHub repo , or a page(s) within the Developer Portal ? It seems y…

Hey Ryan, Thanks for your reply. I think i am missing something, i followed the instruction from Here When i run the goal node status, it shows me an error “zsh: command not found: goal”.

Seems like goal is not in your PATH. The installer should take care to add it. What do you find in your ~/node directory? $ ls -la ~/node

Good news: you have everything installed as expected. I see tealdbg and other devTools. So, this folder must not be in your PATH. Confirm by reviewing the results from: $ echo $PATH It needs to include ~/node in that string. It’s possible you can resolve this by closing your established terminal s…

[image] ryanRfox: echo $PATH this shows me : /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin Can you please check this?

Right, I see the install script for Mac is not setting the $PATH as expected. Therefore, you must set it manually for now (I’ll raise a ticket to correct this behavior). $ export PATH=$PATH:~/node That will add the ~/node directory to your $PATH environment variable for this session. If you want t…

Yeah, now it’s working. Thanks a lot Ryan, Really Appreciated.

Also one more thing, for fastcatchup: i have to run ./goal node start -d ~/node/datafastcatchup but i don’t have any datafastcatchup folder in node, should i create it ? Can you please instruct me on this ? Thanks.

You may execute the goal node start and goal node catchup commands based on any directories you choose as instructed here . It’s no problem to do the catchup in the ~/node directory.
