The error occurred in code that was called by the mach command. This is either
a bug in the called code itself or in the way that mach is calling it.

the error means you haven't built the binary.
have you run ./mach build ?
did it finish successfully?

I leave this bug opened, given I think the error message can be improved.
(I saw some newcomer hit this issue)
