Cardano-cli: Network.Socket.connect: <socket: 11>: does not exist

Dum question perhaps… How do you get to that screen? My node seems to be running and I get the same error…

Hi all,

I am similarly trying to build a cardano node on my Mac using terminal. I have installed all and am now trying to run (following this guide)

I have reached the stage where I have a cardano directory with the requisite files inside:
$HOME/cardano/
├── db
├── testnet-alonzo-genesis.json
├── testnet-byron-genesis.json
├── testnet-config.json
├── testnet-shelley-genesis.json
└── testnet-topology.json

However, I when i run ls db, I can’t see a “node.socket” and the guide does not instruct on how to get/build a node.socket. I am a complete noob to this (i.e. can count number of times i have used terminal on one hand).

How do I resolve this? Is the socket something i have to download from somewhere else? Is it something natively built into my Mac OS that I have to move to this location?

Help!
