To get this work, you need bitcoin-cli installed on your system.  
Otherwise, you can always create one conf.ini file in cert-issuer directory with following lines included,

```
       issuing_address = <your bitcoin address>
       chain=<bitcoin_regtest|bitcoin_testnet|bitcoin_mainnet>
       usb_name = </Volumes/path-to-usb/>
       key_file = <file-you-saved-pk-to>
       unsigned_certificates_dir=<path-to-your-unsigned-certificates>
       blockchain_certificates_dir=<path-to-your-blockchain-certificates>
       work_dir=<path-to-your-workdir>
       no_safe_mode
```
