## Troubleshooting
-If you encounter issues during the setup process, check these common troubleshooting solutions:
-
-
- Make sure you have Node.js v19+ installed and that you run the `mint dev` command from the directory containing your `docs.json` file.
-
-
- Deployment can take upwards to a few minutes. Check your GitHub Actions (for code-based workflow) or deployment logs in the Mintlify dashboard to ensure there are no build errors.
-
-
- Verify that your DNS records are set up correctly and allow sufficient time for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours). You can use tools like [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org) to verify your CNAME record.
