Hello, wandb newbie here. I’m trying to run my first local wandb project locally on a work machine (macOS) where I have admin status. Unfortunately when I run,

wandb.init(project="my_project")

I get the following permission error. Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback!

Hi Andrew, I’m sorry you’re having problems with this. Can you try making sure you’re logged in by running wandb login in your terminal.

Hi @andrew1, are you still having issues?

Thanks for the reply. When I go to check login I now can’t see my API and it says I need to contact sales team to obtain a free license (just did that)

wandb login

Go to localhost

Get the following screen.

Hi Andrew,

Have you gone through the steps successfully or are you hung up on something?
