TypeIs used instead of Type

[the-one-with-raspberry]

Description of bug / unexpected behavior

Whenever I run the command manim, no matter if I pass arguments or not, it gives me an error.

Expected behavior

I was expecting either a "no arguments found" error or a help page with all the arguments.

How to reproduce the issue

Type manim in the terminal and hit enter.

Code for reproducing the problem
