Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'just' ↓

cause Trying to import just as a Python module

fix

just-bin is a CLI tool, not a library. Use just from the command line.

error Error: Failed to download just binary ↓

cause Network issues or proxy blocking the download from GitHub releases

fix

Ensure you have internet access and are not behind a restrictive proxy. You can also download the binary manually from https://github.com/casey/just/releases.

Warnings

gotcha just-bin is a CLI wrapper, not a Python importable module. Attempting to import it will fail. ↓

fix Do not `import just`. Use the `just` command from your shell.

gotcha The binary is downloaded the first time `just` is run; this requires internet access and may fail behind proxies. ↓

fix Ensure internet connectivity or use `pip install just-bin --no-cache` to force re-download.

gotcha just-bin may not update the binary automatically when `pip install --upgrade just-bin` is run; the downloaded binary is cached. ↓

fix Use `just --version` to check the binary version; if outdated, run `just-bin-install` (if available) or manually reinstall the package.
