Beets: Failing to follow getting started guide

Created on 24 Nov 2014  路  2Comments  路  Source: beetbox/beets

Hi,

sorry that I suck at computers. I tried to to go to the irc channel but nobody replied so I'll have to spam your GH issues.

So I install beets and the first thing I want to do is setup my config and import music.
beet config -e
and
beet config -p
result in telling me that the config file doesn't exist:
The file /Users/nicknikolov/.config/beets/config.yaml does not exist.
I make my own and I put as documented this
directory: ~/Music
library: ~/Music/Beets/musiclibrary.blb
inside

Now whenever I run beet, for example to import music it errors again:
error: database file /Users/nicknikolov/Music/Beets/musiclibrary.blb could not be opened
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Nick

Try creating that directory first: /Users/nicknikolov/Music/Beets

Otherwise, beets can't create the file.

Ok, irc channel helped me. I forgot to make the Beets folder.

Try creating that directory first: /Users/nicknikolov/Music/Beets

Otherwise, beets can't create the file.
