Hi Nordic, can you tell me what may be the issue west is having?

[Susheel Nuguru]

Unable to see the directory in which you are running this, also the version of the SDK you are trying to initialize. 

    raise RuntimeError('local configuration

Can you show us what were the steps that followed before this command?

This seems to be a tool issue on Macbook. 

Can you try to use the Toolchain manager instead to install the SDK?

[Andy Aoe]

I erased my machine and installed toolchain 2.0.0 but still get the same result
