I installed Jormungandr node with Chocolatey. Getting the message 'Cannot start the node without the information to retrieve the genesis block'. What should I do next?
C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\jormungandr\tools\jormungandr.exe
The code above gives the error message.

What your config file and start-up parameters look like?

I'm having the same issue. The documentation states: "In normal use, the blockchain genesis configuration is given to you or automatically fetched from the network." So the impression is that you only need to connect to trusted peers, which throws the above error.

I'm using the default config located here: https://input-output-hk.github.io/jormungandr/configuration/introduction.html

I can't find anywhere that states how to get the genesis block or the hash of it. I've tried using the hash of the first block from cardano-db-sync and passing it like this:

 ./jormungandr --config config.yaml --genesis-block-hash '89d9b5a5b8ddc8d7e5a6795e9774d97faf1efea59b2caf7eaf9f8c5b32059df4'

That fails to work.
