Screenshots
Here is the complete output

If I try to not update the caches, then I see the following error

[DEBUG   ] Synchronizing cache with filesystem...
[DEBUG   ] Checking cache for staleness...
kraft caches are out-of-date. Would you like to update? [Y/n]: n
[WARNING ] Could not find manifest: helloworld
[ERROR   ] No manifests to download

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04
• Python 3.8 (via anaconda)

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @vaastav ,

We have now deprecated kraft in favour of KraftKit. Please can you try this tool instead, you won't run into this kind of error with it.

Ok thanks! I will try this next week and let you know if KraftKit works for me.
Thanks for responding.
