I tried to install cardano-cli and cardano-node using this documentation and stuck on below step
mkdir -p $HOME/.local/bin
cp -p "$(./scripts/bin-path.sh cardano-node)" $HOME/.local/bin/
cp -p "$(./scripts/bin-path.sh cardano-cli)" $HOME/.local/bin/
that shows an error like these
anyone with Mac has solved this?
The solution is much easier:
There is no need to compile the binaries on your mac. Why would you? Are you compiling every program you install on your mac?
I have been successful using nix for this task, if you are open to it. Here's how I set up nix on a Mac M1 (note that this post is a bit old, so YMMV): https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/mmzut6/macos_plutus_playground_build_instructions/ . Only the first 6 steps are so are nix-specific, the rest are for building plutus.
then you can proceed with building the cardano-node and cardano-cli executables:
nix-build -A cardano-node -o result/mainnet/cardano-node
nix-build -A cardano-cli -o result/mainnet/cardano-cli
this page also has info, tho I have not used it specifically it might be helpful: https://github.com/input-output-hk/cardano-node/blob/master/doc/getting-started/building-the-node-using-nix.md#building-and-running-with-nix
cabal build alland put here what error you are getting if any.cabal build cardano-node cardano-clitakes a while to run. If it appears to completes quickly then there is an error. If there is an error you should see a message displayed - we will need to see that message to help further. It would also pay to make sure that all of the environment variables noted in the guide that you are following are set correctly before runningcabal build cardano-node cardano-cli.
