## Setup

|
|
- Check the [Khoj Emacs docs](/emacs?id=setup) to setup Khoj with Emacs<br />
|
|
Its simpler as it can skip the server *install*, *run* and *configure* step below.
|
|

## Troubleshoot
|
|
|
|
#### Install fails while building Tokenizer dependency
|
|
- **Details**: `pip install khoj-assistant` fails while building the `tokenizers` dependency. Complains about Rust.
|
|
- **Fix**: Install Rust to build the tokenizers package. For example on Mac run:
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install rustup
|
|
rustup-init
|
|
source ~/.cargo/env
|
|
```
|
|
- **Refer**: [Issue with Fix](https://github.com/khoj-ai/khoj/issues/82#issuecomment-1241890946) for more details
|
|
|
|
#### Search starts giving wonky results
|
|
- **Fix**: Open [/api/update?force=true](http://localhost:42110/api/update?force=true) in browser to regenerate index from scratch
|
|
- **Note**: *This is a fix for when you percieve the search results have degraded. Not if you think they've always given wonky results*
|
|
|
|
#### Khoj in Docker errors out with \"Killed\" in error message
|
|
- **Fix**: Increase RAM available to Docker Containers in Docker Settings
|
|
- **Refer**: [StackOverflow Solution](https://stackoverflow.com/a/50770267), [Configure Resources on Docker for Mac](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/#resources)
|
|
|
|
#### Khoj errors out complaining about Tensors mismatch or null
|
|
- **Mitigation**: Disable `image` search using the desktop GUI
