Initialize a Kubo node and interact with the IPFS Network

Open arivictor opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

The initialisation section for Kubo suggests running:

 ipfs cat /ipfs/QmYwAPJzv5CZsnA625s3Xf2nemtYgPpHdWEz79ojWnPbdG/quick-start

However this returned

Error: block was not found locally (offline): ipld: could not find QmYwAPJzv5CZsnA625s3Xf2nemtYgPpHdWEz79ojWnPbdG

It was not until I started the ipfs daemon that I was able to successfully cat the file. The next section then talks about "taking your node online" and running the daemon, it seems the instructions are in the wrong order, or have I done something incorrect?
