Could you share the precise command you have run and the result you got? You can use triple-backticks (```) to enclose code snippets. For example, if I try to run the command `daml build` (following the README of that project) but I forgot to CD into it: ```plaintext $ daml build daml build: Not in project. $ ``` ---

The `daml 1.2` string does not appear in the current version of that project. How (when?) did you download it? It looks like you’re using a fairly old version. ---

Downloaded from this link: [Installing the SDK — Daml SDK 1.13.1 documentation](https://docs.daml.com/getting-started/installation.html) (For DAML) Could you please suggest latest version for the solultion? ---

That is the correct (latest) version of the Daml Connect SDK tool. That part seems fine. What I meant was that you seem to have somehow downloaded a very old version of the [`digital-asset/ex-mortgage-repackaging`](https://github.com/digital-asset/ex-mortgage-repackaging) project. ---
