# MGS9013: console not built

The server answered `400 bad request` to a share request because it found no
built console, so a device opening the share link would load nothing.

```text
[MGS9013] the built console was not found, so there is nothing to share; build
it with `magus run build console` and try again
  see: .../MGS9013.md
```

## Why

A share opens a LAN listener that serves the console app to another device.
The server looks for the build in `MAGUS_CONSOLE_DIR`, then in
`<root>/console/gen`, and needs an `index.html` there. Opening a listener with
nothing behind it would hand the other device a 404 in place of the app.

## Resolution

Build the console with `magus run build console`, or point
`MAGUS_CONSOLE_DIR` at a directory holding a built console, then start the
share again. The server reads the directory when it starts, so restart it
after building: `magus server stop`, then `magus server start`.
