Unbuntu chia 1.3.1 GUI / CLI problem were is chia

Support

Hi,

I just upgraded to the new chia 1.3.1 GUI on Unbuntu 20.04. The install is working with no problems.

I have used the CLI to check plots and make plots. I can not find the “chia” to run CLI commands. Did I miss something in the install??

So how did you check plots?

I used a smiple bash script

/home/airtac/chia-blockchain/venv/bin/chia plots check &> /home/airtac/c-logs/plot-check.log

tail -n 4 /home/airtac/c-logs/plot-check.log

date

I can not find the program “chia” is the problem

Can you do a grep for chia.*

Did you install Chia using the Debian package from Downloads - Chia Network? If so, that installs application files in a different place.

The Chia GUI itself is installed to /usr/bin/chia-blockchain. This launches the GUI only; it cannot be used to run other Chia commands.

You can find the chia tools in:

/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/resources/app.asar.unpacked/daemon

The chia binary you are looking for is at:

/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/resources/app.asar.unpacked/daemon/chia

Madmax and Bladebit are also installed there:

# madmax
/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/resources/app.asar.unpacked/daemon/madmax/chia_plot

# bladebit
/usr/lib/chia-blockchain/resources/app.asar.unpacked/daemon/bladebit/bladebit
