A message from kapa.ai
The error "no such command report" when running uv run edr report suggests that the Elementary CLI was not installed correctly, or the installation is incomplete or incompatible. Based on the knowledge sources, this issue is commonly related to Python environment or dependency problems. The recommended troubleshooting steps are: 1. Check Installation: The error "No such command 'report'" usually means the installation was not completed successfully. This is often a Python dependencies issue. 2. Reinstall in a Clean Virtual Environment: The official troubleshooting guide suggests installing Elementary in a clean virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts. Here’s how you can do it:
Copy code
bash    pip install virtualenv    python3 -m venv virtualenv_elementary    source virtualenv_elementary/bin/activate    python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade    python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip    python3 -m pip install elementary-data    python3 -m pip install elementary-data[<adapter>]
Replace
<adapter>
with your data warehouse adapter, e.g.,
snowflake
,
bigquery
, etc. 3. Check CLI Installation: After installation, run
edr --help
to verify that the CLI is installed and the commands are available. If you still get "no such command 'report'", the installation is likely still faulty. 4. uv Compatibility: The knowledge sources do not mention
uv
as a supported installation or execution method for Elementary. If you installed via
uv add elementary-data
, it’s possible that the CLI entry points were not registered as expected. Try installing with
pip
in a virtual environment as described above. 5. PATH Issues: If you are on macOS or Windows, ensure that the directory where the
edr
executable is installed is included in your system's
PATH
variable. See the troubleshooting guide for details on how to update your
PATH
if needed [Troubleshooting Guide](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/general/troubleshooting). If after following these steps the issue persists, please provide more details about your environment and installation steps, or consult the Elementary community for further support.

@kapa.ai the only command available is monitor.

A message from kapa.ai
If the only command available is
monitor
and you do not see
report
or other commands after installing Elementary CLI, this typically indicates an incomplete or faulty installation. This issue has been reported by other users and is often related to Python environment or dependency problems. Recommended steps: 1. Reinstall in a Clean Virtual Environment: The Elementary team recommends creating a new virtual environment and reinstalling the package to resolve such issues. Here’s the process:
Copy code
bash    pip install virtualenv    python3 -m venv virtualenv_elementary    source virtualenv_elementary/bin/activate    python3 -m ensurepip --upgrade    python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip    python3 -m pip install elementary-data    python3 -m pip install elementary-data[<adapter>]
Replace
<adapter>
with your data warehouse adapter, such as
snowflake
,
bigquery
, etc. [Troubleshooting Guide](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/general/troubleshooting) 2. Check Python Version: Ensure you are using a supported Python version (3.9 - 3.12). Using an unsupported version can cause CLI commands to be missing or malfunctioning. 3. Adapter Installation: Sometimes, installing an additional adapter (even if you are not using it) can resolve missing command issues. For example, if you are using BigQuery and only see
monitor
, try also installing the Snowflake adapter:
Copy code
bash    pip install 'elementary-data[snowflake]'
Users have reported that this workaround can restore missing commands like
report
and
send-report
in some cases [Slack Thread](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1658856435388449). 4. Check CLI Help Output: After reinstalling, run:
Copy code
bash    edr --help
You should see commands like
monitor
,
report
, and
send-report
listed. If not, the installation is still incomplete. If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, please provide details about your environment and installation steps, as there may be a deeper compatibility or environment-specific problem. If you installed using a tool like
uv
, note that the knowledge sources do not mention support for this method, and it may not properly register all CLI entry points. The recommended and supported installation method is via
pip
in a clean virtual environment. Let me know if you need further assistance!
