Take a moment to read the error you’re getting and see if the solution is already in this page. I’m not reporting the full error here, only a line, so read carefully.
Installation issues
If you’re on Windows, run download_ffmpeg.bat. Otherwise read again the ffmpeg installation part of the guide you followed for your OS.
Red is working but there are 0 cogs loaded
This mostly happens on Linux. Your current working directory must the bot’s root folder (where red.py is). Run it from there. Don’t run it from outside its own directory.
ImportError: No module named 'discord'
Your discord.py wasn’t installed. Make sure you install with a command prompt and admin rights.
pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@master#egg=discord.py[voice]
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Your python is inferior to 3.5.0. Red needs at least 3.5.0 32bit to run. Install it.
If you already did you might have two different versions of python and the older one is the default.

Uninstall and Reinstall FFMPEG
For Linux users: sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg && sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
Configuration issues
Red is not responding to my commands
Red must be invited in your server with the OAuth link that shows up when you start it. If you already did, make sure that Red has permissions to actually read your messages
Other issues
BlockingIOError: [WinError10035] A non-blocking socket operation could not be completed immediately
It’s most likely the connection on your end. Get a stable connection (not wifi) and restart the bot. It fixes this problem 99% of the time.
Why is Red spamming streamalerts?
It could be the streamer at fault or the Twitch API freaking out.
