Troubleshooting

Most CodeWhale issues still trace back to install, auth, or workflow-baseline mistakes first

This hub keeps the old DeepSeek TUI search intent in view, but the fixes now need to be explained under the current CodeWhale product name and command path.

Choose the troubleshooting path by question type

Use this hub as the troubleshooting list first. Decide whether the failure is install, provider, binary, or MCP related before opening the detail fix.

Shell

I installed it but the command still fails

Start with command-not-found or Homebrew command-not-found if the binary is missing from your shell path.

Go to command fix
Auth

I can launch it but the provider flow is broken

Start with provider troubleshooting if the install works but auth, endpoint, or provider behavior still fails.

Go to provider troubleshooting
Advanced

I think MCP or binaries are the issue

Start with release binaries or MCP troubleshooting if the basic command path already looks correct.

Binaries

Release binaries

If package-manager friction is the issue, the release-binary route may be the cleaner path.

MCP troubleshooting

Use this page when MCP feels broken and you need to separate server-level failures from basic config mistakes.
