Start Here: 5-Minute Quick Check

When your code stops working, do not worry or rewrite your work. Follow these short steps to find the exact problem:

• Check your Python version: Type python --version or python3 --version in your terminal to see which Python you have.
• Check your active folder: Look for a bracket name like (venv) at the start of your terminal line.
• Check your tools: Type pip install -r requirements.txt to install any missing tools.
• Check files and settings: Make sure your .env file, setup files, and model folders are in place.
• Find the error message: Read the very last line of the error text on your screen to see what went wrong.

Why Can’t I Run My GenBoosterMark Code?

To run GenBoosterMark, your computer, files, and code tools must work together. One wrong setting can stop the program from starting.

Here are the main reasons your code fails to start:

• Wrong Python version: Using a Python version that does not work with your project.
• Missing tools: Forgetting to download the needed software packages.
• Turned-off folder setup: Installing tools on your main computer instead of inside your project folder.
• Wrong setup files: Typing errors or bad spacing in your YAML or JSON settings files.
• Missing secret keys: Forgetting to put key codes inside your .env file.
• Wrong file locations: Typing file paths that do not point to real folders.
• Locked folders: Your computer blocking you from opening or saving files in a folder.
• Graphics card driver problems: Using screen drivers that do not match your smart code tools.
• Internet connection problems: Sending bad keys or wrong settings to online services.
• Cloud service differences: Running home code on websites like Google Colab or Docker without changing the settings.

Fix Python Version and Folder Setup Problems

Python programs need the right version and a clean workspace to run well on different computers.

Check Which Python and Pip Are Working

Your computer might have a few Python versions installed. You need to check which one is answering your commands.

On Windows PowerShell:

PowerShell

Get-Command python
Get-Command pip

On macOS or Linux:

Bash

which python3
which pip3

If these commands show main system folders instead of your project folder, your project workspace is turned off.

Helpful Tip: Look at project files like pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, or project notes to see which Python version your GenBoosterMark code needs.

Create a Clean Project Workspace

A virtual workspace is a private folder for your project’s tools. It stops your project from mixing up tools with other programs on your computer.

On Windows:

DOS

python -m venv venv

On macOS or Linux:

Bash

python3 -m venv venv

Turn On the Workspace and Test It

You must turn on your workspace before downloading tools or running your code.

On Windows PowerShell:

PowerShell

.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

On macOS or Linux:

Bash

source venv/bin/activate

After turning it on, run which python3 or Get-Command python again. The path on screen should now point inside your project’s venv folder.

Pick a Workspace Helper

You can manage Python project folders using three common tools:

Tool	Best Used For	Good Things	Drawbacks
venv	Regular Python projects	Comes built into Python and is light	Cannot download new Python versions
Conda	Science work and graphics tasks	Downloads extra code libraries easily	Takes up a lot of storage space
pyenv	Changing Python versions	Swaps main Python versions fast	Harder to set up on Windows

Fix Missing or Clashing Tools

Missing tools stop your code from starting right away. Clashing tool versions can cause your code to crash while it is running.

Install Your Project Tools

Download all needed software using the project’s tool list file:

Bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

If your project uses a pyproject.toml file, install it in edit mode:

Bash

pip install -e .

Fix “ModuleNotFoundError”

A ModuleNotFoundError happens when Python cannot find a tool listed in an import line in your code.

Plaintext

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'

The word used in code does not always match the exact download name on the web. For example, to use yaml in code, you must download PyYAML:

Bash

pip install PyYAML

Find Tool Version Conflicts

If a tool is installed but your code still crashes, run this command to find clashing packages:

Bash

pip check

If tools clash, you will see an error showing which packages need different versions:

Plaintext

genboostermark 1.0.0 has requirement requests>=2.31.0, but you have requests 2.25.1.

Check the details of any tool using pip show <package-name> before updating it so you do not break other working tools.

Fix GenBoosterMark Setup File Errors

GenBoosterMark uses setup files to choose program choices and model settings.

Check YAML Spacing

YAML files use spaces to group items. If you use the Tab key instead of spaces, your program will crash when it starts.

YAML

# Good YAML spacing
model:
  name: "genboostermark-v1"
  batch_size: 16

# Bad YAML spacing (Will cause a text error)
model:
   name: "genboostermark-v1"
 batch_size: 16

Check JSON Formatting

If your setup file uses JSON format, make sure it follows these simple rules:

• Put double quotes around every name ("key").
• Remove extra commas at the end of lists or groups.
• Make sure every opening bracket has a closing bracket.

Check Setting Names and Value Types

Setup files must use the exact names and value types your code expects. Passing text like "16" when your code needs a plain number like 16 can cause errors.

Use a Simple Setup File to Find the Issue

Test your program using a very small setup file. This helps you figure out if your main code is broken or if your big setup file just has typing errors.

YAML

# Simple test setup (Example only)
project_name: "test_run"
device: "cpu"
debug_mode: true

Fix Secret Keys and .env File Problems

Programs use secret settings to hold passwords, file locations, and internet keys safely.

Check if Needed Keys Are Active

Check if your system secret keys are loaded in your open terminal window.

On Windows PowerShell:

PowerShell

Echo $env:API_KEY

On macOS or Linux:

Bash

echo $API_KEY

Check .env File Location and Loading

Put your .env file in the main project folder where you type your commands. Helper tools look in your open folder by default.

Note that helper tools only load keys if your code calls the load command. If you move your .env file into a subfolder, you must type the exact path to that file in your code.

Check Name Spelling and Formatting

Follow these rules when writing your .env file:

• Do not put spaces around the equals sign (KEY=value, not KEY = value).
• Do not use quotation marks unless spaces are part of your secret key.
• Match capital and small letters exactly.

Keep Your Keys Safe

Hide your secret keys when sharing error messages or pictures on the internet.

Code snippet

# Safe hidden example
GENBOOSTER_API_KEY="gb_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:REDACTED@localhost:5432/mydb"

Fix File, Folder, Model, and Path Errors

Folder errors happen when Python cannot find your input data, saved models, or output folders.

Check Short Paths vs. Full Paths

Short paths change depending on where you open your terminal window. Use path commands in Python to build solid file locations:

Python

from pathlib import Path

# Find the exact full path based on this code file location
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
DATA_FILE = BASE_DIR / "data" / "input.json"

Check Your Open Terminal Folder

Check where your terminal is looking before running your code.

On Windows:

DOS

cd

On macOS or Linux:

Bash

pwd

Make sure your open folder matches the file locations used in your code.

Check Model Files

Smart model files are very big and must be downloaded separately. Make sure your model files are fully downloaded and unzipped in the right folder.

Check Capital Letters in File Names

Capital letters matter depending on your operating system. Linux strictly checks capital letters, while Windows and macOS usually ignore them. A path like Models/Weights.bin will fail on Linux if the real folder is named models/weights.bin.

Plaintext

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'models/weights.bin'

If you see this error, check your open folder path with pwd or cd and check the exact spelling of your file name.

Fix Folder Lock and Access Errors

Computer safety rules can stop GenBoosterMark from reading input files or saving output files.

Check Your Target Folder

Make sure your computer user account is allowed to open, read, and save files in your project folders.

Fix Windows Access Blocked Issues

If Windows blocks access to a folder, change folder access rights:

1. Right-click your project folder and pick Properties.
2. Click the Security tab.
3. Click your user account name and make sure Full control or Write is checked.

Fix macOS and Linux Permission Issues

On Linux or macOS, give write access to output folders:

Bash

chmod 755 ./output_folder

If another user account owns the files on Linux, change file ownership to your account:

Bash

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./project_folder

On macOS, use chown -R $USER ./project_folder without extra group text if ownership warnings show up.

Warning: Do not run Python code using system admin commands like sudo. Running as admin can lock your project workspace and create safety risks.

Fix Graphics Card (GPU), CUDA, and Tool Errors

When GenBoosterMark uses a graphics card to run faster, mismatched driver software can stop your code from running.

Check if Your Graphics Card Is Found

Check if your computer sees your graphics card. Run the NVIDIA test tool in your terminal:

Bash

nvidia-smi

If this command shows your graphics card name and driver number, your hardware is working. If you see “command not found,” download and install your graphics card drivers.

Check NVIDIA Drivers and CUDA Tools

Smart coding tools rely on graphics drivers. You can check if full CUDA helper tools are installed on your computer:

Bash

nvcc --version

If nvcc is not found, the full CUDA setup is missing from your system path. However, tools like PyTorch often bring their own CUDA code and can still use your graphics card if your main driver is up to date.

Check Tool Support for Graphics Cards

Installing PyTorch with a basic command might give you a CPU-only version. Run this short check in Python to test graphics card access:

Python

import torch
print(torch.cuda.is_available())

If it says False, PyTorch cannot use your graphics card. Reinstall PyTorch using the official guide on the PyTorch website to match your computer drivers.

Test CPU Mode to Find the Problem

Turn off graphics card access for a moment to test if your code runs on your main computer processor (CPU).

On Linux or macOS:

Bash

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""

On Windows PowerShell:

PowerShell

$env:CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=""

If your code runs in CPU mode, your main application code works fine. This means the problem comes from your graphics card drivers or CUDA setup.

Fix Internet Keys, Settings, and Sign-In Errors

If your code crashes while sending data over the internet, check your network settings and request formats.

Check API Keys and Accounts

Make sure your internet key is active, pasted correctly into your .env file, and has enough account credits to run.

Check Required Settings and Sent Data Format

Online services reject requests that leave out needed settings or send bad data types. For example, sending text where a number is needed will cause an error response.

JSON

// Example Internet Error Response
{
  "error": {
    "code": "invalid_parameter",
    "message": "batch_size must be an integer, got string '16'"
  }
}

Understand Internet Error Numbers

Web requests return simple status numbers that tell you why a request failed:

Error Number	What It Means	What to Check
HTTP 400	Bad Request	Check setting names and data types
HTTP 401	Not Signed In	Check your key for typos or extra spaces
HTTP 403	Access Denied	Check account limits or rights
HTTP 404	Page Not Found	Check the web address and API version
HTTP 500	Server Error	The website is down; check their status page

Quick Command List for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Different computer systems use different terminal commands. Use this table to find the right command for your computer:

Task	Windows PowerShell	macOS / Linux Terminal
Check Python version	python --version	python3 --version
Make virtual workspace	python -m venv venv	python3 -m venv venv
Turn on workspace	.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1	source venv/bin/activate
Check program location	Get-Command python	which python3
Download tools	pip install -r requirements.txt	pip install -r requirements.txt
Check folder locks	Security tab in File Explorer	ls -la and chmod 755

Running GenBoosterMark on Google Colab

Google Colab gives you free cloud graphics cards on the web, but these web computers wipe clean when your session ends.

1. Pick a GPU workspace: Click Runtime > Change runtime type and select a GPU hardware accelerator.
2. Download tools every time: Put download commands at the top of your notebook:Bash!pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Connect Google Drive to save files:Pythonfrom google.colab import drive drive.mount('/content/drive')
4. Use Colab Secrets for keys: Store secret keys in the Secrets tab (key icon) instead of typing keys into code cells.
5. Restart workspace after downloading: Click Runtime > Restart session if you update installed tools.

Running GenBoosterMark with Docker

Docker runs programs inside neat, isolated boxes so code works the same way on every computer.

Plaintext

[ Main Computer ] ──► [ Docker Box ──► Python Setup ──► GenBoosterMark ]

• Link project folders: Use folder flags (-v $(pwd):/app) so your Docker box can read home files and save output logs.
• Pass secret key files: Load keys using the --env-file .env flag when starting your container.
• Turn on graphics support: Use the --gpus all flag so your Docker box can use your computer’s graphics card.

What Common GenBoosterMark Error Messages Mean

Use this table to match error text to simple fixes:

Error Text	Likely Cause	What to Check First	Simple Fix
ModuleNotFoundError	Missing code tool	Active project folder	Type pip install <package>
ImportError	Clashing tool versions	Tool list in pip list	Match required tool versions
FileNotFoundError	Wrong file path	Open folder (pwd)	Use full file paths
PermissionError	Locked folder	Folder access rights	Turn off folder read-only lock
yaml.parser.ParserError	Bad YAML spacing	Tab key usage or alignment	Use spacebar spaces only
KeyError	Missing secret key	Key names in .env	Add missing key to .env file
CUDA error	Driver or tool mismatch	nvidia-smi output	Match CUDA and PyTorch versions
HTTP 400 / 401	Internet setting error	Request data format	Fix key and parameter values

How to Find the Real Problem From Error Logs

A Python error log shows a list of steps that led to a crash. Follow these steps to find out what went wrong:

1. Read the very last line first: The bottom line shows the exact error type and short explanation.
2. Look for your project files: Look up the list of lines to find files that belong to your project folder.
3. Check the line number: Open that file in your code editor to find the exact command that failed.
4. Find the main cause: Separate the main crash from smaller warnings caused by the first failure.

Simple Problem-Solving Flowchart

Follow this simple flow to narrow down where your program fails:

Plaintext

Does the program start?
 ├── NO ──► Check Python version, workspace activation, and downloaded tools.
 └── YES ─► Do setup files load cleanly?
             ├── NO ──► Check YAML/JSON spacing and .env keys.
             └── YES ─► Does CPU mode work?
                         ├── NO ──► Check file paths and internet keys.
                         └── YES ─► Check NVIDIA drivers and CUDA settings.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Downloading Python tools to your main computer instead of using a project workspace folder.
• Copying example setup files without changing file paths to match your computer.
• Misspelling key names inside your .env file.
• Changing many software tools at once instead of testing one change at a time.
• Running commands from inside subfolders instead of your main project folder.

Prevention Checklist

Use this checklist to keep your project setup clean for future runs:

• [ ] Write down the supported Python version in your project notes.
• [ ] Use a private project workspace folder (venv).
• [ ] Install software tools using a saved requirements.txt file.
• [ ] Save secret keys in a .env file listed inside .gitignore.
• [ ] Use code path builders to locate files safely.
• [ ] Test code in CPU mode before using graphics card power.

When the Problem Is Not Your Code

Sometimes issues outside your code stop your program from running:

• Internet service outages: Online servers or sign-in systems are temporarily down.
• Model download blocks: Model websites like Hugging Face are unreachable due to internet limits.
• Bad tool updates: A newly updated software tool brought a bug. Lock your tool numbers in requirements.txt to keep things working.

Check official project status pages and help guides before rewriting your code.
