I am a beginner on Play framework . I just extract Play framework files and extracted them and gave the path of play directory in $PATH global variable. After this when I run the the command on ubuntu play help, its giving me below error:

/usr/bin/env: sh: No such file or directory

Any clue why I am facing this error and how to resolve it ?

This error usually happens if the script has windows line endings instead of unix line endings.

Try running dos2unix on the script and try running your command again to see if you get the same error.

dos2unix [filename]
