I recently downloaded the Sencha SDK and the SDK tools. I installed the SDK tools, and unzipped the contents of the file sencha-touch-2.1.0-commercial.zip to my web server. I cd’d into the directory and ran the command given to generate a getting started app, but I received this message:
abe@Dubai:/var/www/sencha-touch-sdk$ sencha
[WARN] The current working directory (/var/www/sencha-touch-sdk) is not a recognized Sencha SDK or application folder. Running in backwards compatible mode.
Sencha Command v2.0.0 Beta 3

....followed by all the info on how to structure commands using sencha
I Googled it, and found out that one of the ways sencha knows that it’s the sencha sdk folder is that it contains a hidden file called .sencha, which my sdk directory was missing. After creating a blank .senchasdk file, I ran the command again, but this time I got:
abe@Dubai:/var/www/sencha-touch-sdk$ sencha
node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module '/var/www/sencha-touch-sdk/command/sencha.js'

at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:192:40)
The interesting thing to me is that it’s looking for a “command” directory which doesn’t exist in my SDK folder. Did I download/extract the wrong thing? I followed the download link for the sdk that I got in my email from Sencha.
I’m using Ubuntu linux by the way. I hope this isn’t as silly of a question as I think it is, I did my best to research the issue
EDIT: I just thought I’d add that I AM able to visit the sencha-touch-sdk directory in my browser and I do see the documentation. This leads me to believe that I have the right package after all…so once again I’m stumped.
Try using the Sencha CMD instead of Sencha SDK Tools for that Sencha SDK version.
