Hey gemini friends
I was trying to integrate plan9port tools into my work flow. Git cloned p9p and did ./INSTALL without problem. From what I have read, the plumb(1) command should function as the open(1) command in fruitOS. I.e, if I run ./9 plumb xxx.mkv, it should in theory look up the correct program to handle the mkv format and run something like mpv xxx.mkv.
However, when I run ./9 plumb xxx.mkv, I get the following error:
plumb: can't open plumb file: dial unix!/tmp/ns.MyUserName.:0/plumb: connect /tmp/ns.MyUserName.:0/plumb: No such file or directory
What is wrong with my setup? I’m new to plan9 concepts, did I misunderstood something?

Did you start the plumber before doing that? It needs to be running before anything can be plumbed.
See plumber(4) for details.

bubstance is correct, nothing can be plumbed until "plumber" is run, whether that's by hand or in a startup script of yours.
Same goes for factotum, if you try that out.
after launching plumber, it works! both in CLI and acme.
