Encountered the following issue when downloading and installing for the first time:

Environment: Ubuntu 18.0.4, System76 Laptop, Python 3.8

I imagine there's a config file I have to supply somewhere, but this doesn't seem to be reflected in the docs?

Same for me.

Environment: Fedora Silverblue, Python 3.9 and Python 3.8 on Conda.

I have the same problem

Sorry for the late response!
Does this part in the documentation solve the issue?
https://pwenker.com/chessli/tutorial/how_to_set_up_chessli/#configuration

[BlackBlack667]

No. Chessli crashes same error regardless of arguments provided.

@BlackBlack667:

I don't exactly get what you mean with "regardless of arguments provided". The link I posted above goes through some additional setup steps needed for chessli to work.
One of them is the creation of an API acces token:

https://pwenker.com/chessli/tutorial/how_to_set_up_chessli/#lichess-api-authentification

It's been a while that I worked on the code, but from the error message in the initial issue entry, I guess this is the one step missing :)

[BlackBlack667]

Changed config and it works now!

[pwenker]

Awesome!
Thank you three for your feedback!
I close this issue and will place some notes into the documentation to make these necessary configuration setup-steps more visible.
Feel free to reopen if anything is not solved yet or open new issues if other problems come up :)
