Hello from a new user (almost),
Might be a simple problem but I can’t seem to solve it.
I have installed zcash from binary tarball, on Debian 64bit on a Virtual Machine as per instructions.
when I attempt to run:
$ zcashd
I get:
cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
and when I do:
$ sudo zcashd
I get the following error:
1: /usr/local/bin/zcashd: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Is there an obvious solution to this?
Thanks
Shawn

Zcashd is located in the Zcash folder so first step is to enter zcash directory with
cd zcash
then
./src/zcashd
to start the node.
Once you see the screen with wait for it to finish syncing with the network (check nodes blockheight)
Open another terminal window, cd zcash
then you can run commands like ./src/zcash-cli getinfo
Here is a list of other commands you can use zcash/payment-api.md at master · zcash/zcash · GitHub
Many thanks Shawn,
To clarify, I followed the instructions here:
The directory seems to be named zcash-1.0.9 and the zcashd binary is at /usr/local/bin/
Is this correct?
I’ve tried cd
ing into the above zcash directories, I still get the same error.
Please forgive me if this is something obvious,
Thanks

Just to add, the
zcash-fetch-params
command seemed to work ok.
