Frequently Asked Questions about cardano-cli-doctor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check my Cardano CLI version and command syntax compatibility?▼

To check Cardano CLI version and syntax compatibility, run a diagnostic that detects your installed version, checks for era-prefixed command support, and verifies legacy flag availability. This generates a compatibility report guiding correct syntax usage.

When do I need to use era-prefixed commands vs legacy flags in Cardano CLI?▼

You need era-prefixed commands like 'conway transaction build' for modern Cardano CLI installations, while legacy flags like '--babbage-era' are required for older versions. A compatibility diagnosis determines which syntax your setup supports.

Can I run Cardano CLI diagnostics in Docker without a local installation?▼

Yes, you can run Cardano CLI diagnostics in Docker without a local installation. The diagnostic skill supports local CLI execution and includes a Docker fallback for environments lacking a direct Cardano CLI installation.

Why does my Cardano CLI transaction build command fail with syntax errors?▼

Your Cardano CLI transaction build command fails with syntax errors because your version may not support modern era-prefixed commands or requires specific legacy flags. A compatibility report identifies the correct syntax for your installation.

What is the best way to diagnose Cardano CLI setup before building transactions?▼

The best way to diagnose Cardano CLI setup before building transactions is to run a diagnostic check that analyzes version detection, era-prefixed command support, and network flags. This produces a compatibility report to guide correct syntax.
