yabai --start-service

Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
Try re-running the command as root for richer errors.

Yes it does.

Here is a yabai config that requires no special hacks (disabled SIP, sudoers, ...) that you might find useful as a starting point: https://cbrgm.net/post/2021-05-5-setup-macos

@rami3l

That looks like an old tutorial, the following command no longer works

brew services start yabai

Error: Formula yabai has not implemented #plist, #service or installed a locatable service file

As for yabai --start-service

Bootstrap failed: 5: Input/output error
Try re-running the command as root for richer errors.

Is there a way to get more debug this and get more info?

@midrizi Sorry, I don't know what to do in that case. My suggestion is to try running yabai as root, and checking out /tmp/yabai_user.err.log might also help...
