Hey @Yummyblock,

To make sure you’re at [email protected], you need to cd to your blockstack.js directory, run git checkout feature/stacks-transactions, then then run either sudo npm link or sudo npm install -g (the former is preferred). This should put version 18.0.0 of blockstack into /usr/local/lib/node_modules/blockstack. Note that if /usr/lib/node_modules/blockstack either exists as a directory or exists as a symlink to some other directory that is not your feature/stacks-transactions branch, then something is wrong.

There’s also one last thing you have to do after running npm install in cli-blockstack: You have to run either sudo npm link or sudo npm install -g. Either one will put blockstack-cli into /usr/local/bin, where it can be run as a shell program.

Hope this helps!

I’d also delete everything and start from scratch. I saw that in the “git clone” of cli-blockstack that it says the directory already exists.

Delete your blockstack.js and cli-blockstack folders, and then start the video from the beginning, following each of the steps. It should work then.
