The docs state you can directly record to a file, but v0.9.8 does not recognize this option anymore and only provides the server option.

$ python3 -m asciinema rec test.json
asciinema: Too many arguments. See 'asciinema --help'.

0.9.8 is 3 years old version, which didn't have this ability. You should upgrade to newer one.

I am on asciinema 0.9.8 and I still see this issue today. I installed using the sudo apt install asciinema. Looks like the repo might be out of date.
