+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you receive a `firebase: not found` error at any point in the deployment process, make sure that you have the Firebase CLI installed.
+
+`Invalid project selection, please verify project cdp-isaac-dev-2023 exists and you have access.`
+- Run `firebase projects:list` and check whether your project is listed
+- Run `firebase projects:addfirebase {{project-name}}`
+
+If you are running into issues with various packages or tools not being installed, it is highly recommended to start a fresh virtual env.
