I have been following tutorials for protonmail-bridge --cli including creating and exporting a ProtonMail Bridge key using:
gpg --batch --passphrase '' --quick-gen-key 'ProtonMail Bridge' default default
gpg --export -a "ProtonMail Bridge"
// pass was already installed so that command was skipped
pass init "ProtonMail Bridge"
// then I tried to run protonmail-bridge --cli and get the following errors
root@IHC:~# protonmail-bridge --cli

What the heck am I doing wrong, and how can I fix it? I had it installed and added an account, but it kept not recognizing my keychain helper.
I DO have a paid business account with ProtonMail.
