error: failed to connect to Bitcoin Core RPC at 127.0.0.1:8332/wallet/ord because: I/O error: The system cannot find the file specified. (os error 2)

when trying to run "ord wallet create". noob question but I can't figure out a way around this error. I've enabled the RPC in bitcoin core. Tried running ord in the Bitcoin directory...

This sounds like a missing cookie file! First step is to check for .cookie.

I'm trying to create my ord wallet, I'm currently running my bitcoin node from an external SSD. I'm trying to set my data directory and cookie file directory to a different path with ord --cookie-file /path/to/my/.cookie but nothing happens, I only get the ord -h response. What I'm I doing wrong? I'm using Ubuntu.

Oh nvm, looks like I have to use the sub commands, ord --cookie-file /path/to/my/.cookie wallet create. Is there a way to keep my actual path to the external SSD or do I have to specify the path with every command?
