Troubleshooting
"Command not found"
# Add to PATH (Linux/macOS)
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
# Or reinstall
pip uninstall rightnow-cli
pip install rightnow-cli --user
"API key error"
# Get your free key at:
https://openrouter.ai
# Clear old key and re-enter:
rm -rf ~/.rightnow-cli
rightnow # Will prompt for new key
GPU not detected
# Check NVIDIA driver
nvidia-smi
# Check CUDA
nvcc --version
# RightNow works without GPU (CPU simulation mode)
