Malformed private key pair

[NathanKim91]

When I am trying to configure "Local Multi-Node Testnet" there is some problem.

it says there is malformed private key pair.
However I followed the step what is written.
Please let me know what is the problem.
Thanks.

probably you want single quotes around the key so the shell doesn't mess that up. as in:

--private-key '["EOS6RxxLBrMG6bCBtC8VSXYiepD6zwFsa***************", "5KVTMsHfMgggLxyuLsxAFyjecHc8JrxSh3b**************"]'

@matthewdarwin thanks, i found the problem. A space between the key pair was making trouble.

However, I still have following problem.

It says the address already in use.
I am running the keosd now.
What's wrong in here?

[NathanKim91]

Oh i found what a problem is.
It was needed to exit the keosd.
