# Troubleshooting
## Installation Issues
### `npm install` fails
**Symptom:** Error during native module compilation
**Fix:** Install build tools:
```bash
# macOS
xcode-select --install
# Linux
sudo apt install build-essential python3
# Windows
npm install -g windows-build-tools
```
### `npm rebuild better-sqlite3` fails
**Symptom:** Native module rebuild errors
**Fix:**
1. Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed
2. Delete `node_modules` and reinstall:
```bash
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
npm rebuild better-sqlite3
```
## Runtime Issues
### App won't start
**Symptom:** Error on `npm run dev`
**Fixes:**
1. Run the bootstrap script first: `scripts/dev/bootstrap-local.sh`
2. Check `.env.local` exists (copy from `.env.example` if missing)
3. Ensure database directory exists: `~/Library/Application Support/RA-H/db/`
### Vector search returns no results
**Symptom:** Semantic search doesn't find matches
**Fixes:**
1. Ensure `sqlite-vec` extension is loading (check console for errors)
2. Verify `SQLITE_VEC_EXTENSION_PATH` in `.env.local` points to `vendor/sqlite-extensions/vec0.dylib`
3. Note: sqlite-vec only works on macOS currently. Linux/Windows users need to compile it manually.
### API key validation fails
**Symptom:** "Invalid key" error in Settings
**Fixes:**
1. Verify key format:
- OpenAI: starts with `sk-`
- Anthropic: starts with `sk-ant-`
2. Check key has correct permissions/credits
3. Try regenerating the key in provider dashboard
### Chat returns errors
**Symptom:** Error messages when chatting
**Fixes:**
1. Check API keys are valid (Settings → API Keys)
2. Verify internet connection
3. Check browser console for specific error messages
## Database Issues
### Database locked
**Symptom:** "SQLITE_BUSY" errors
**Fix:** Only run one instance of RA-H at a time. Close any other terminals running the app.
### Missing tables
**Symptom:** "no such table" errors
**Fix:** Re-run the schema script:
```bash
scripts/database/sqlite-ensure-app-schema.sh ~/Library/Application\ Support/RA-H/db/rah.sqlite
```
## Platform-Specific
### Linux/Windows
The bundled `vec0.dylib` and `yt-dlp` binaries are macOS-only. For other platforms:
1. **sqlite-vec**: Build from source at https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec
2. **yt-dlp**: Download from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases
See the main README for detailed instructions.
