Your agent handles most of these by itself. Use this page when it stops and shows you one.

Installing the CLI with npm install

Run the same command with sudo in front.
Your invite isn’t valid: it’s mistyped, expired or revoked. Ask the person who sent it for a new one.
Wait one minute, then install again.
The server has no CLI to give. Contact the person who sent your invite.

Signing in with praesia request

The invite code is missing, mistyped, expired or revoked. Check it against the code in your skill text, then ask your agent to try again.
Praesia received too many requests from this network address. Wait one minute, then ask your agent to try again.

  • If it’s the agent you’re setting up, ask your agent to read its status.
  • For a new agent, ask your agent to use another profile name.

Ask your agent to set up again with a new profile name.
Set your machine’s clock, then ask your agent to try again.
Give your computer account write access to the Praesia home, then run praesia doctor --profile PROFILE_NAME. Then ask your agent to try again.

Paying with pay

The payment hasn’t failed. Your agent checks it with get_status under the same key. Don’t ask it to pay again.
Your agent runs this command to list the payments whose outcome isn’t known yet:
The CLI can’t write to its Praesia home. Your agent can still pay, and it checks each payment with get_status. To keep the record, give your computer account write access to the Praesia home.
Delete the file that the answer names, then ask your agent to try again.

Updating the CLI

Your agent keeps working. Tell it whether to update. If you agree, it updates the CLI and the skill, then asks you to restart your harness. If you refuse, it doesn’t ask again in this conversation.
Praesia refuses calls from this version. Ask your agent to update, then restart your harness. If a payment was in progress, your agent reads its outcome before the restart.

Starting the server with praesia serve

Your harness runs this command. It shows these messages.
The harness entry is out of date. Add the server again. Manual install shows how.
This happens after you remove a Node.js version. Install the CLI on the version you keep, then add the server to your harness again.

Checking the setup with praesia doctor
