Unable to mount new installation - installation instructions may need updating/revising

Version information:

go-ipfs version: 0.4.4-
Repo version: 4
System version: amd64/darwin
Golang version: go1.7

Type:

Bug

Priority:

P3

Description:

Installed IPFS
Installed go
Installed Fuse from https://osxfuse.github.io/
The installation instructions don't work well (Mac OSX 10.11.6)
ipfs mount complains about not being able to check the version
Even after installing fuse-version with go get github.com/jbenet/go-fuse-version/fuse-version
ipfs mount still reports the error
ipfs config DontCheckOSXFUSE true
however reports
mitraplasma:~ mitra$ ipfs config DontCheckOSXFUSE true
Error: failed to set config value: Wrong config type, expected bool (maybe use --json?)
Trying TRUE or True didn't work any better

After that ipfs mount gets
Error: config key invalid: DontCheckOSXFUSE %!s(bool=true)

So unable to mount ipfs

Happy to run any tests to check this.

I second this. Just tried mounting, does not work on Mac--Fuse version check fails every time.

Well, this is a bit old. See: ipfs/ipfs#343 (comment)

To answer the question: the suggested command should have been ipfs config --json DontCheckOSXFUSE
