Error writing mnemonic recovery seed to file: LibraWalletGeneric: Permission denied (os error 13)

55 Views Asked by At

While trying to save my Diem (Libra) wallet mnemonic recovery seed to disk I get the following message;

[ERROR] Error writing mnemonic recovery seed to file: LibraWalletGeneric: Permission denied (os error 13)

However when starting the client with sudo I have no issue;

sudo ./scripts/cli/start_cli_testnet.sh
a w /home/user/wallet/wallet.wallet
>> Saving Libra wallet mnemonic recovery seed to disk
Saved mnemonic seed to disk

What should I do as a standard to solve this issue? The most obvious workaround being to run the client as root or to modify the write folders permission.

It seems the solution was simply to save the wallet to the current folder, i.e;

libra% a w ./wallet.wallet
