**Command Not Found:**
**`trae-cli: command not found`:**

This happens when the virtual environment's `bin/` directory is not on your `PATH`. Fix it with one of these approaches:

```bash
# Option 1: Activate the virtual environment (recommended)
source .venv/bin/activate
trae-cli run "your task"

# Option 2: Use `uv run` (no activation needed)
uv run trae-cli run "your task"

# Option 3: Call the binary directly
.venv/bin/trae-cli run "your task"
```

> **Tip:** If the command disappears after opening a new terminal, make sure you activate the venv first (`source .venv/bin/activate`). You can add this to your shell profile for convenience:
> ```bash
> echo 'source /path/to/trae-agent/.venv/bin/activate' >> ~/.bashrc
> ```

**Permission Errors:**
```bash
chmod +x /path/to/your/project
