sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libffi-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev libtinfo-dev libsystemd-dev zlib1g-dev make g++ tmux git jq wget libncursesw5 -y

I have the same problem :frowning:

I had to rebuild everything from scratch …

The error “Protocol key not found” is very likely thrown because of a missing entry in config.json file. There should be something like:

“Protocol”: “TPraos”,
“GenesisFile”: “shelley_testnet-genesis.json”,
“RequiresNetworkMagic”: “RequiresMagic”,

Please see documentation for details on the config file: https://docs.cardano.org/projects/cardano-node/en/latest/getting-started/understanding-config-files.html
