Alexasmartcli.py start issue

[chubs168]

Sorry new to this. When i run the alexasmartcli.py it won't run. When i run it in python i get the following.
%Run alexasmartcli.py
please specify an action
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/alexacontrolledsamsungtv/alexasmartcli.py", line 36, in
exit()
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/_sitebuiltins.py", line 26, in call
raise SystemExit(code)
SystemExit: None
Did i install something wrong?
Thanks

what are you trying to do? you have to pass in an argument. ex:

python3 alexasmartcli.py scan
python3 alexasmartcli.py login
python3 alexasmartcli.py register
python3 alexasmartcli.py setup_cable
python3 alexasmartcli.py start

pi@raspberrypi:~/alexacontrolledsamsungtv $ python3 alexasmartcli.py start

It’s most likely a DNS issue. See #6
