On a brand new machine I ran ipfs daemon and got:

why@why-MS-7B46 ~/g/s/g/i/go-ipfs> ipfs daemon
Initializing daemon...
go-ipfs version: 0.4.19-dev-a142aecf9
Repo version: 7
System version: amd64/linux
Golang version: go1.11.2
Successfully raised file descriptor limit to 2048.
Error: no IPFS repo found in /home/why/.ipfs.
please run: 'ipfs init'
Received interrupt signal, shutting down...
(Hit ctrl-c again to force-shutdown the daemon.)

Thats a lot of extra information, and the bit telling me what I need to know is a bit hidden. I would expect showing much less to be less confusing, liike:

Initializing daemon...
Error: no IPFS repo found in /home/why/.ipfs.
please run: 'ipfs init'
