You must either give the program the path to the fortune file, or you must set the FORTUNE_FILE environment variable to point to the file. Furthermore, the data file must also be present. What is FORTUNE_FILE set to in your environment? Is an appropriate fortune.dat file also present in the same location?

I created the following path: ~/bin/fortune there I placed the file called fortunes I also have generated the fortune.dat file, when I faced the error I cloned your fortune and fortune.dat files from https://github.com/bmc/fortunes and I still have the same error, I created the environment variable in my .bashrc file: export FORTUNE_FILE=~/bin/fortunes/fortunes . Have you tested fortune in Windows?.

I haven't, not lately. I tend to use it on my Mac or on Linux, where I do 99% of my work. I'll test on Windows over the weekend.

I ran into the same problem.

Changing line 185 to fortuneIndex = open(fortune_index_file, 'rb') solved it.
