Hi there, First attempt to use balenaOS and it does not look good. Any ideas what may be wrong? Thanks! 1. Installed balena CLI on MacOS (High Sierra) ```auto % balena version --all balena-cli version "12.44.1" Node.js version "12.20.0" ``` 1. Downloaded balenaOS for RaspberryPi3 (`balena-cloud-raspberrypi3-64-2.65.0+rev1-dev-v12.2.11.img `) 2. Run `balena local configure` as in the documentation: ```auto % sudo balena local configure ./balena-cloud-raspberrypi3-64-2.65.0+rev1-dev-v12.2.11.img [debug] new argv=[/usr/local/lib/balena-cli/bin/node,/usr/local/lib/balena-cli/bin/run,local:configure,./balena-cloud-raspberrypi3-64-2.65.0+rev1-dev-v12.2.11.img] length=4 ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE: The "original" argument must be of type function.

Hi there, What installation method did you use to install the CLI? Could you try mounting the image (double click on the .img file) and see if the image can be mounted and you see a resin-boot volume with a `system-connections` directory? Could you also please retry the operation using the `--debug` flag? As in ```auto sudo balena local configure --debug balena-cloud-raspberrypi3-64-2.65.0+rev1-dev-v12.2.11.img ``` Thanks for your help ---

Actually I could just replicate this with one of the unmanaged images from the balenaOS website. This looks like a bug in the CLI. Let me try to pinpoint the issue and I’ll try to provide a workaround ---

Hi again, Thanks for reporting this, this is indeed a bug in the CLI, I have created an [issue on the balena-cli repository](https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/issues/2239) and linked it to this forum ticket. You can fix the problem for the moment by mounting the image (double-click on the .img on Finder) and wait for the `resin-boot` volume to appear. There you can make a copy of the `resin-sample.ignore` file under the `system-connections` folder and rename it to `resin-wifi`. You can then eject the image and retry running the command ```auto sudo balena local configure balena-cloud-raspberrypi3-64-2.65.0+rev1-dev-v12.2.11.img ``` This should show you a prompt to configure your wifi credentials. You can achieve the same by directly editing the resin-wifi file if you want. I hope this helps. Felipe ---

I’m having the same issue on Windows 10. Just installed balena-cli-v12.44.6-windows-x64-installer.exe and cannot edit development images. Any suggested workaround for windows? ---

Hey @mparris, could you please provide the full filename of the image you are attempting to configure, and the result of the `balena local configure` command when `--debug` is provided as Felipe demonstrated above? I just want to make sure we are looking at the same issue, and not something else. ---

Thank you @mparris, I can confirm that is the same issue and I’ve been able to reproduce it as well. Could you try installing v12.43.2 and trying again? > **[Release v12.43.2 · balena-io/balena-cli](https://github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/releases/tag/v12.43.2)** > > //github.com/balena-io/balena-cli/releases/tag/v12.43.2 I’m going to make sure the GitHub issue that Felipe opened receives some attention soon as it’s quite easy to reproduce. ---
