@miltonabatista After installing the crc make sure you start it from the Start application and follow the guided flow.

[miltonabatista]

@praveenkumar After remove all configuation and run codeReady Containers I select openshift and put pull-secret.
The setup wizard is on this screen one hour.
Even after the crc completes the download.

I believe you have issues with your network connection.
Instead of the onboarding flow, you can run crc setup from a command prompt.

Please let me know what the output is.

[gbraad]

This might be related to the scenario where crc start is directly started from the command line,.

c:\Program Files\CodeReady Containers>crc start
WARN A new version (2.0.1) has been published on https://developers.redhat.com/content-gateway/file/pub/openshift-v4/clients/crc/2.0.1/crc-windows-installer.zip
Is 'crc daemon' running? Cannot reach daemon API: Get "http://unix/api/version": open \\.\pipe\crc-http: The system cannot find the file specified.

Ref: #3083

Just in your case not sure why the issue is also affecting the setup flow. This might be because you describe two scenarios.

• start not working when the daemon is not running.
• the download is slow/not happening.

@gbraad @praveenkumar so i am getting the same error on MacOS

Is '/Applications/CodeReady Containers.app' running? Cannot reach daemon API: Get "http://unix/api/version": dial unix /Users/karasing/.crc/crc-http.sock: connect: no such file or directory

And for the record i have the CRC MacOS App running and available in the system tray

[gbraad]

Should be addressed in the new release. Unfortunately they experience issues with publishing it.

For now, run crc daemon in a seperate shell session or background
