Troubleshooting: Installation

Most installation issues will include an error message, either printed to your terminal, or written to <command>.log. If you do not see an explanation on the screen, check the log.

For any errors relating to start up of a component, you will likely find more information in the component’s log. Use the logs command to view it.
