I installed ckan from source recently. After installation, when I try to make a new admin user by the following command:

paster sysadmin add seanh -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

I see this at the terminal:

User "seanh" not found
Create new user: seanh? [y/n]y
Need name and email of the user.

And the command exits. Basically I can't enter the name and email of the user when asked. How can I create a new admin user on ckan from the terminal on Ubuntu?

The email address is now mandatory and the command has not been updated yet. You need to specify it like this:

paster sysadmin add seanj email="sean@j.com"
