This is a **version mismatch** between your `sui` CLI and the `mvr` CLI tool.

**What’s happening:**

Your `sui` CLI is calling `mvr` with the old flag `--resolve-deps`, but your installed version of `mvr` has renamed that flag to `--resolve-move-dependencies`. The two tools are out of sync.

**How to fix it:**

Update **both** tools so they are on compatible versions:

1. **Update the Sui CLI** to the latest release:

2. **Update `mvr`** to the latest version. Run:

The key point: the `sui move build` command invokes `mvr` as a subprocess for dependency resolution. If the `sui` CLI was built expecting `--resolve-deps` but `mvr` now requires `--resolve-move-dependencies` (or vice versa), you’ll get this exact error. Keeping both tools at their latest compatible versions resolves it.

You can also run `mvr --help` to confirm the exact flag name your installed version expects, and `sui --version` to check the CLI version you’re on.

@GiFTED The Agent seems to be correct as I’ve had this same issue in the past.

Let me know if this works for you

Try this: Uninstall both Sui and MVR entirely and reinstall.  
You might be having a PATH shadowing problem as well.

brew uninstall sui (on macOS)  
rm ~/.local/bin/mvr

Then verify reinstall:

sui --version  
mvr --version

this should work. let me know how it goes.
