cd depends no such file or directory #10474

When running is the bash shell when I enter cd depends I keep getting "no such file or directory" returned. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Can you give us some more details? The depends/ directory should be at git root level. Maybe do a fresh checkout or a git clean (git clean -dfx <-- DANGER)

Jonas,

Attached is a screenshot of where I am getting stuck with the BIP 148 node install. I have gone back through the instructions on Github, but I keep ending up in the same spot.

Not sure what I am doing wrong exactly and any thoughts you may have are appreciated.

BTW I really enjoyed the podcast episode you were on with Trace Mayer explaining hierarchical deterministic keys.

Thanks!!

-Jon

Make sure that your pwd is in the git repo. (You could call git log -1 to verify this)

Then change the directory to the one printed by git rev-parse --show-toplevel.

Finally, cd depends should work. Otherwise, please share the output of the above commands.

Marco,

Attached is a screen shot after trying the git log -1 command and the error I receive. I also tried looking at the root folder and got a an error that permission is denied.

You'd need to upload the screenshot directly on GitHub (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10474#issuecomment-307635876). Or even better, just copy paste the text from the terminal.

On a general note, this is not a support channel. Support requests that are not issues with our code, are best directed to the Bitcoin StackExchange.

This is a basic UNIX file system navigation issue, not bitcoin related. Would make sense to read up on using the shell. Anyhow can you check with pwd directory you are in, or with ls if there is a directory depends there. If not, cd won't work.

Thanks Marco for the response. I wasn't sure what the right channel was for support so I thought I would start on Github first...I will check out the bitcoin stack exchange and see if anyone else has had a similar issue and can help me get this figured out. What I don't understand is that I am following the instructions from Github for Windows 10 exactly and am running into problems. I am sure I am not doing something right, but I am just not sure what yet.

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks Wladimir for the feedback. I am following the Github instructions for a Windows 10 installation exactly as written. It looks like the unix commands run without an issue in the shell. But when I go to find the depends directory it says its not there.

Marco suggested I checkout the bitcoin stack exchange to see if there are any hints over there as to what I am doing wrong. I am sure it isn't bitcoin related too but something up with linux running on Windows 10. I am just not sure what...yet.

This should probably be closed, as @laanwj said, its not an issue with bitcoin

If you don't provide the output of pwd, ls et al. there is nothing we can do.

The issue is perhaps that the OP did not clone the repo. I made the same mistake. The tutorial wasn't very clear that one should be in the repo directory before changing to the 'depends' folder. I first thought it was perhaps a directory in the bash somewhere but after not being able to find it I found this post and then clicked that the directory is in the source. After that I continued fine with the tutorial but hit another snag which I will post as separate issue.

Ah, cool. Please adjust the tutorial. Should be a trivial pull request.
