## Installation Help

### Troubleshooting

**Installation fails with error message:**

* Ensure you have administrator rights
* Temporarily disable antivirus software
* Check that you meet minimum system requirements

**Application won't start (Windows):**

* Verify Windows 10/11 (64-bit) is installed
* Update graphics drivers
* Check Windows Event Viewer for error details
* Contact support with error logs

**CLI won't start (Linux):**

* Verify the `.deb` package installed correctly: `dpkg -l | grep chloros`
* Check permissions: `sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/chloros-cli`
* Run diagnostics: `chloros-cli selftest`
* Check for missing libraries: `ldd /usr/lib/chloros/chloros-backend | grep "not found"`

**License activation issues:**

* Ensure internet connection is active
