General Debugging

If you are having issues with AnythingLLM, the first thing you should do is check the logs. You can find the logs in the logs folder of your AnythingLLM storage - which you can find on your computer using this guide.

AnythingLLM Debug mode on MacOS

To run the AnythingLLM Application in debug mode (if you are getting errors) you can open a Terminal and navigate to ~/Applications/AnythingLLM/Content/MacOs where you can then run the executable and see all application logs while running AnythingLLM.

AnythingLLM Debug mode on Windows

To run the AnythingLLM Application in debug mode (if you are getting errors) you can open a CMD or Powershell window and run the path to the AnythingLLM executable. Typically this is in C:\Users\usr\AppData\Local\Programs\anythingllm-desktop\AnythingLLMDesktop.exe. This will print all logs to the powershell window while running and should display a verbose error once encountered that is critical for debugging.

AnythingLLM Debug mode on Linux

To run the AnythingLLM Application in debug mode (if you are getting errors) you can open a Terminal and navigate to ~/.config/anythingllm-desktop/AnythingLLMDesktop.AppImage where you can then run the executable and see all AppImage logs while running AnythingLLM.
