Keybase "keybased.sock: connect n osuch file or directory"

Question

I need to install keybase, and I followed the instructions available on the official linux download page.

I executed the following commands:

curl -O https://prerelease.keybase.io/keybase_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i keybase_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
run_keybase                         <-- problems here

Error:

▶ INFO Starting keybase.service.

▶ ERROR dial unix /run/user/1000/snap.vscode/keybase/keybased.sock: connect: no such file or directory

I have run the installation twice now, but in both cases i got this error. When i try to run keybase -d login I get the same error after several of these ones:

Failed to connect to socket (18): dial unix /run/user/1000/snap.vscode/keybase/keybased.sock: connect: no such file or directory

Any ideas on how to complete the installation?

I appreciate your help.

Answer 1

The above error occured because I was running the command on the Visual Studio Code command line. After I changed to a regular terminal, the problem did not occur.
