Hello,
I’ve installed the Sprites CLI on my machine using the automatic script. I can run commands just fine, as long as I know the exact command I need to run.
Running sprite by itself, or sprite -h, or sprite –help, generates this output:
sprite
-bx: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching \`''
Forcing it to run in bash seems to have no effect:
bash -c "sprite"
-bx: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sprite --version
sprite version v0.0.1-rc43
OS: CachyOS x86_64
Kernel: 7.0.0-1-cachyos
Shell: fish 4.6.0
@devpikachu thanks for the report, you’ve found a bug in how our pager code interacts with CachyOS’ default pager command - I’m going to roll out a fix in our Sprites CLI tool but in the meantime you could either unset MANPAGER or install man-db (which is more robust than your included mandoc in Cachy) to get past this.
@mattp-fly Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, it seems like I already am using man-db. This seems to be the default since it’s in the core repository, whilst mandoc is in extra. I also have not configured my installation to use a different man.

Based on the MANPAGER mention, however, I can see that Cachy has it set to sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'.
Running it as bash -c "MANPAGER=more sprite --help" fixes this, so the workaround until the updated CLI is out is to set MANPAGER to more (or less, I guess).
