I was working on a project in it was working till for some reason i stopped dfx (dfx stop) in the middle of project and then

rm -rf .dfx
rm -rf dist
rm -rf src/declarations
dfx cache delete

dfx start --clean

and after that I started my local dfx (0.11.2)
dfx deploy backend - was ok
dfx deploy frontend - was ok
dfx deploy nfg - shows error

dfx deploy nft
Deploying: nft
All canisters have already been created.
Building canisters…
Installing canisters…
Error: Failed while trying to deploy canisters.
Caused by: Failed while trying to deploy canisters.

I receive error like this:

Error: Failed update call.
Caused by: Failed update call.
The Replica returned an error: code 4, message: “Canister installation failed with Canister rno2w-sqaaa-aaaaa-aaacq-cai is out of cycles: requested 80000590000 cycles but the available balance is 500000000 cycles and the freezing threshold 0 cycles”

what is the above error? what is my mistake?

I think one part is pretty clear - the command you ran costs more than you can afford. The real question is how you managed to set up a task that costs 80 trillion cycles

Did you figure it out?

I’m also getting

Failed to create argument blob.
        Invalid data: Expected arguments but found none.

This most likely happens because your canister takes init arguments but you don’t provide any. You can specify it like this: dfx canister install <canister name> --argument <my argument string>
