Initialize a Kubo node and interact with the IPFS Network
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?
