Hi welcome to ERPNext

For the bench to recognize a command, the command must be preceded by two hyphens for eg --new-site or --help like this:

(env) frappe@ubuntu:~/frappe-bench$ bench --help
Usage: [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]…

Bench manager for Frappe

Options:
–version
–help Show this message and exit.

Commands:
backup backup site
backup-all-sites backup all sites
config change bench configuration

Indeed yes my apologies --help and --version are the only commands you must precede with ‘–’

You are running bench as frappe user from say /home/frappe/frappe-bench, correct?

edit: Here are I believe the official install notes GitHub - frappe/bench: CLI to manage Multi-tenant deployments for Frappe apps

Is frappe is installed properly

yes, I have installed frappe properly.

$ bench new-site ‘sitename’.local
indicates that you are in ~ subdirectory. Try

cd ~/frappe-bench
bench new-site ‘sitename’.local
