🔧 Troubleshooting

“No such file or directory”

Make sure you’re in the correct directory:

cd C:\Users\issda\Downloads\SCBE_Production_Pack
python scbe-cli.py

“Unknown command”

• Commands must be typed at the scbe> prompt
• Tutorial options (1-5) only work inside the tutorial menu
• Type help to see all available commands

EOF Errors

All EOF errors are now handled gracefully. If you see one, it means:

• You pressed Ctrl+D (Unix) or Ctrl+Z (Windows)
• Input was piped and reached end of file
• The CLI will exit cleanly
