||
|
||
**"Command not found" error:**

- Ensure `/usr/local/bin` is in your `PATH`.

||
|
||
**Permission denied:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Make the binary executable
|
||
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mycelium
|
||
|
||
# Run with sudo for network operations
|
||
sudo mycelium --peers tcp://188.40.132.242:9651
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**IPv6 Not Available:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check if IPv6 is enabled
|
||
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
|
||
|
||
# Enable if needed (0 = enabled)
|
||
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
|
||
```
