ERROR: wallet failed to connect to daemon: http://localhost:[...]

Hi everyone,

I try to install monero wallet (release linux32) on Ubuntu (xubunto 16.10) with the console on terminal.

I follow the instruction here line by line: https://www.monero.how/tutorial-how-to-create-a-command-line-monero-wallet

But when I run the deamon (./monerod), i’ve got this ERROR message:

> ERROR Daemon src/daemon/core.h:94 Failed to Deinitialize core…

And when I try to run the wallet (./monero-wallet-cli), i’ve got this ERROR message:

> ERROR: wallet failed to connect to daemon: http://localhost:18081. Daemon is either not started or wrong port passed. Please make sur daemon is running or restart the wallet with the correct daemon address.

(My firewall (ufw) is not active)

I always run the daemon before and after the wallet, but i’ve got the 2 error messages, and the program don’t work.

Last thing, do you know if i need to download the entire blockchain before running the daemon and Wallet ? or the wallet can be synchronize without and work ?

How can I do with the console (release linux32) to download the monero blockchain ?

A great Thanks in advance for your help !

monerod will download the blockchain at first start. It will save it to 'data-dir' specified in 'bitmonero.conf'.
