🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Backend Won't Start

# Check Python environment
python --version  # Should be 3.8+

# Install dependencies
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r backend/requirements.txt

# Check model files
ls *.keras  # Should see best_lstm_model_local.keras

Frontend Won't Connect

# Check Node.js version
node --version  # Should be 16+

# Clear cache and reinstall
rm -rf frontend/node_modules
rm frontend/package-lock.json
cd frontend && npm install

API Returns Errors

1. Ensure model file exists: best_lstm_model_local.keras
2. Check CSV format matches expected columns
3. Verify minimum 36 data points for predictions
4. Check backend logs for detailed error messages
