'Flag provided but not defined: -rpc

Am starting off in blockchain development using the book Mastering Blockchain - A deep dive into distributed ledgers, consensus protocols, smart contracts, DApps, cryptocurrencies, Ethereum,

Am using WSL with geth version 1.10.9.

$geth version
Geth
Version: 1.10.9-stable
Git Commit: eae3b1946a276ac099e0018fc792d9e8c3bfda6d
Architecture: amd64
Go Version: go1.17
Operating System: linux
GOPATH=
GOROOT=go

Am trying to start geth, but am getting the error that the --rpc flag is not defined.

This is the command I am trying to run:

geth --datadir ~/etherprivate/ --networkid 786 --rpc --rpcapi 'web3,eth,net,debug,personal' --rpccorsdomain '*'

Any help on how I can solve it?

It appears 1.10.9-stable version has a problem and is returning a -rpc error. GETH 1.10.8-stable version works fine when running the geth command with --rpc

You can also use other options related to --rpc

  --http                              Enable the HTTP-RPC server
  --http.addr value                   HTTP-RPC server listening interface (default: "localhost")
  --http.port value                   HTTP-RPC server listening port (default: 8545)
  --http.api value                    API's offered over the HTTP-RPC interface
  --http.rpcprefix value              HTTP path path prefix on which JSON-RPC is served. Use '/' to serve on all paths.
  --http.corsdomain value             Comma separated list of domains from which to accept cross origin requests (browser enforced)
  --http.vhosts value                 Comma separated list of virtual hostnames from which to accept requests (server enforced). Accepts '*' wildcard. (default: "localhost")
