There was a typo in the command offered.  But this should have been
sufficient guidance for you to turn to a man page at this point, and
search for the '--reinstall' option, and realize that there are major
modes of operation which are required (say so at the top of the manual),
with additional options which can (optionally) be added.

Peace.
