Worked pretty well for me, thank you!

Just one little thing - I had to move libffi.7.dylib and libsodium.23.dylib to /usr/local/bin as well, as they couldn't been found upon executing cardano-cli

@PiotrNap Thanks for the comment, you can still try using docker https://gist.github.com/ilyar/49968703823f8f70ea33efa1d8ed2190#file-use-daedalus-socket-docker-cardano-cli-sh

Thanks @ilyar, I wanted to use my Daedalus Testnet node to just play around with the cardano-cli. But I'll try it out once I get more familiar with this.

Hey @ilyar, does this work on Linux only? I'm confused since you give the download paths for all 3 OS' but the rest of the steps reads like Linux instructions.
To be specific, I would like to use my Daedalus Mainnet installation on Win10 to be used in conjunction with the cardano-cli so I don't have to run and sync a separate node. Is that possible?

@Klobbinger for windows need POSIX simple way use Git-bash

I tried to run this srcript
ps ax | grep -v grep | grep cardano-wallet | grep mainnet | sed -r 's/(.*)node-socket //'
my mac return this. any one face this issue ?
sed: illegal option -- r
usage: sed script [-Ealn] [-i extension] [file ...]
sed [-Ealn] [-i extension] [-e script] ... [-f script_file] ... [file ...]

@hoanghnbk please show out: sed --help

@hoanghnbk and debug:

ps ax | grep -v grep | grep cardano-wallet
out?
ps ax | grep -v grep | grep cardano-wallet | grep mainnet
out?

hi @ilyar it is the output for ps ax | grep -v grep | grep cardano-wallet | grep mainnet :
cardano-wallet serve --shutdown-handler --port 49581 --database /Users/hoanghoang/Library/Application Support/Daedalus Mainnet/wallets --tls-ca-cert /Users/hoanghoang/Library/Application Support/Daedalus Mainnet/tls/server/ca.crt --tls-sv-cert /Users/hoanghoang/Library/Application Support/Daedalus Mainnet/tls/server/server.crt --tls-sv-key /Users/hoanghoang/Library/Application Support/Daedalus Mainnet/tls/server/server.key --token-metadata-server https://tokens.cardano.org --sync-tolerance 300s --mainnet --node-socket /Users/hoanghoang/Library/Application Support/Daedalus Mainnet/cardano-node.socket

and out put of sed --help is :
sed --help sed: illegal option -- - usage: sed script [-Ealn] [-i extension] [file ...] sed [-Ealn] [-i extension] [-e script] ... [-f script_file] ... [file ...]

oh, I know what happened, on my macOS (Catalina 10.15.7) (I don't know if another version faces the same issue ), you change sed -r to sed -E. but thank you for your help

@hoanghnbk thank you
I checked for me (Linux) works both variants and updated script

cool! thank you and have a nice day!

I am having an issue after the step where I use "cardano-cli get-tip" I get an error

error: Found argument 'get-tip' which wasn't expected, or isn't valid in this context

USAGE:
cardano-cli [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]

For more information try --help

However, the previous step did indeed provide the path to node socket. What am I doing wrong. Any thoughts?
