It looks like the notation was invalid.

What notation were you trying to roll?

[Kodiologist]

Nothing really. I just started the program with roller roll play and got this.

[Kodiologist]

Looking at the README again, it looks like the actual syntax is roller play. So this is PEBKAC except perhaps for an excessively verbose error message.

[GreenImp]

Ah yes of course, it sees play as invalid dice notation.

I'm glad you figured it out!

In terms of the extremely verbose error message, a ticket has already been raised for that, which you're welcome to take a look at:

dice-roller/rpg-dice-roller#278

If you're able to help with it, then that would be great
