siriuss-mini:~ sirius$ ipfs add -r /Volumes/original-1/fileRestAPI/Los_Angeles_County_Land_Records
Error: cannot connect to the api. Is the deamon running? To run as a standalone CLI command remove the api file in `$IPFS_PATH/api`


you have to go d:\ipfs_repo
to delete api file and repo.lock file,
because when you force quit ipfs desktop, those 2 file left un-closed,
you must manually delete them.
