+## Optional: CUDA Support
+
+If you have an NVIDIA GPU and want CUDA support:

+
+## Clone and Setup Eliza

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- If you encounter `node-gyp` errors, ensure build tools are installed:
+```bash
+sudo apt install -y nodejs-dev node-gyp
+```
+
+- For audio-related issues, verify ffmpeg installation:
+```bash
+ffmpeg -version
+```
+
+- For permission issues, ensure your user owns the project directory:
+```bash
+sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/path/to/eliza
+```
