Description

Hi, I recently was invited to keybase by a friend of mine, and after going through the setup of a key, and verification of my twitter and github through the web, I installed the client using homebrew on my mac and gnupg2 since it said it was a dep.

But if I try to issue any command, even help, I get the same error:

Bens-MacBook-Pro:~ axolotlfan9250$ keybase login
warn: No config file found; tried '/Users/axolotlfan9250/.config/keybase/config.json'
Bens-MacBook-Pro:~ axolotlfan9250$ keybase help
warn: No config file found; tried '/Users/axolotlfan9250/.config/keybase/config.json'
Bens-MacBook-Pro:~ axolotlfan9250$ keybase help login
warn: No config file found; tried '/Users/axolotlfan9250/.config/keybase/config.json'

Research direction

Reproduce the warning with keybase login and keybase help on macOS, then inspect how the client handles /Users/axolotlfan9250/.config/keybase/config.json. Done means the installed client can run these commands without reporting that no config file was found.
