Please confirm the following:

I have upgraded to the latest GAM release from https://git.io/gamreleases and I still have this issue. Yes
I am typing the command as described in the GAM Wiki at https://github.com/jay0lee/gam/wiki Yes Full steps to reproduce the issue:

gam create user fakeusername@fakeemail.com firstname Fake lastname User password userpassword org “Fake Org Here”

Expected outcome (what are you trying to do?): Create a user in our G-Suite domain

Actual outcome (what errors or bad behavior do you see instead?):

I’ve updated to the latest version of GAM and it still doesn’t appear to be working. Here’s the machine I’m using:

Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial

Not sure why GAM has suddenly stopped working.

Try deleting the entire gamcache folder that’s in the gam folder and see if that resolves.

My apologies you are correct. I looked in the wrong directory.

That being said, I did find the correct folder and deleted the gamcache folder, and the command began working again.

Thanks for the assistance.
