+# FinGPT FAQ (Getting Started)
+
+### 1) I installed packages but import fails with `ModuleNotFoundError`
+Ensure you installed dependencies in the same Python environment you are running.
+Confirm with:
+python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
+
+If needed, reinstall:
+        >> pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+### 2) Which Python version should I use
+Prefer a recent Python 3 version supported by the project. If installation fails, try Python 3.9 or later.
+
+### 3) How do I quickly verify my environment
+Run the example:
+        >> python examples/run_stock_sentiment.py
+
+You should see a small table of CNBC news for TSLA.
+
+### 4) I do not see my contributions under my GitHub profile
+Make sure your commit email matches the email registered on your GitHub account. You can use the GitHub no reply email as well.
