CLI configure failure

Exercism Support CLI
1

When trying to configure the CLI I get:

"Error: The base API URL ‘https://api/exercism.io/v1’ cannot be reached.

Any way to get past this?

2

Is there really a slash after “api” and not a dot?

3

Also, assuming you’re on linux or macos, what is the output of

cat ~/.config/exercism/user.json

Please hide your token if you cut and paste the output.

The output of exercism debug can be helpful.

typo for sure, thanks for catching

6

I’m using Termux. I don’t actually have that directory

7

Thanks for this, kotp. I ran the debug and neither Github nor Exercism connected - connection refused. I would copy/paste the results but I’m not using the same system as I am using to type this

8

So you’re trying to install the exercism CLI on an Android device? Well, you’ll have to figure out a way to show us the results.

It looks like this is not about configuring the exercism CLI, it’s about network connectivity in termux. Are there any termux settings you can tweak to allow connections?

12

:thinking: I’m fairly new to linux and termux so I’m not sure. I can say that I haven’t had connection issues with any other type of install in termux besides this one. I did have a glib dependency issue when trying to install babashka on termux but besides that everything has worked.

13

Got it!! Found a link where someone explained exactly how to install it on termux. Had to build it with GO? Anyway, here’s the link:

Thanks for all the help!

14

Slight modification to accommodate the depreciation of Go Get to use Go Install instead:

pkg install -y golang && pkg install -y git && go install github.com/exercism/cli/exercism && echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin' >> ~/.profile && source ~/.profile
