Why does a command say “command not found”?

The module may not be installed, an alias target may be unavailable or the extension file may not be loaded.

Check

Run help to see installed commands, help -a to see the repository catalog and help aliases to inspect active aliases.

Install

Install the canonical module name, not the alias. For example install dir enables both dir and ls.

Extension problems

Run install -l and inspect .lil.php permissions. After a successful write, lil-terminal invalidates stat and OPcache so the command appears on the next browser request.

Automatic command continuation

With the Base interface, @dns google.com keeps its original command line visible. If DNS is absent, lil-terminal installs the current package and continues the same request without a full page reload.

Examples

help
help -a
which ls
install dir
