I try to deploy the `ledger` locally as displayed in the documentation ([https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/integrations/ledger/ledger-local-setup](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/integrations/ledger/ledger-local-setup)) but get an issue "Deserialization Failed: “No more values on the wire, the expected type record”. Any idea?

* * *

The doc as script:

```auto
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Install ledger locally as documented in:
# https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/integrations/ledger/ledger-local-setup

IC_VERSION=dd3a710b03bd3ae10368a91b255571d012d1ec2f
curl -o ledger.wasm.gz "https://download.dfinity.systems/ic/$IC_VERSION/canisters/ledger-canister_notify-method.wasm.gz"
gunzip ledger.wasm.gz
curl -o ledger.private.did "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinity/ic/$IC_VERSION/rs/rosetta-api/ledger.did"
curl -o ledger.public.did "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dfinity/ic/$IC_VERSION/rs/rosetta-api/ledger_canister/ledger.did"

dfx identity new minter
dfx identity use minter
MINT_ACC=$(dfx ledger account-id)

dfx identity use default
LEDGER_ACC=$(dfx ledger account-id)

dfx deploy ledger --argument '(record {minting_account = "'${MINT_ACC}'"; initial_values = vec { record { "'${LEDGER_ACC}'"; record { e8s=100_000_000_000 } }; }; send_whitelist = vec {}})'

```

The error

Found it. The issue is that you have to configure `dfx.json` twice as displayed in the documentation.

1. First with a private did

```auto
{
  "canisters": {
    "ledger": {
      "type": "custom",
      "wasm": "ledger.wasm",
      "candid": "ledger.private.did"
    }
  }
}

```

1. then install ledger

2. then update again `dfx.json`

```auto
"ledger": {
  "type": "custom",
  "candid": "ledger.public.did",
  "wasm": "ledger.wasm",
  "remote": {
    "candid": "ledger.public.did",
    "id": {
      "ic": "ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai"
    }
  }
}

```
