You may be on a very old version of CommandBox that doesn’t support the --latest flag, or flags in general. it appears that it’s trying to use that as a positional parameter for the force attribute.

Running the “version” command will tell us what version you’re on.

Delete the .CommandBox folder in your user directory and re-download the latest CommandBox binary and it will extract everything fresh.
