ckan create new user issue

Question

I installed ckan from source recently. After installation, when I try to make a new admin user by the following command:

paster sysadmin add seanh -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

I see this at the terminal:

User "seanh" not found
Create new user: seanh? [y/n]y
Need name and email of the user.

And the command exits. Basically I can't enter the name and email of the user when asked. How can I create a new admin user on ckan from the terminal on Ubuntu?

Answer 1

The email address is now mandatory and the command has not been updated yet. You need to specify it like this:

paster sysadmin add seanj email="[email protected]"
