## ElizaOS Technical Discussions and Development Updates  

### FAQ (Common Issues & Solutions)  
1. **How do I install the Discord client?**  
   - Use `npx elizaos plugins add @elizaos-plugins/client-discord` and add it to `plugins` in the character file.  
2. **Why is my Twitter agent not posting?**  
   - Ensure both `plugin-twitter` and `client-twitter` are installed and listed in `plugins`.  
3. **How do I run multiple agents with different Twitter accounts?**  
   - Use namespaced environment variables (e.g., `TWITTER_USERNAME_AGENT1`).  
4. **How do I enable RAG knowledge retrieval?**  
   - Set `ragKnowledge: true` in the character config and configure knowledge directories.  
5. **Why is my Docker build failing?**  
   - Likely due to missing dependencies and incorrect module paths; revised Dockerfile proposed.  
6. **How do I use a local LLM with Ollama?**  
   - Use `plugin-local-ai` and set `USE_LOCAL_AI=true` in `.env`.  
7. **How do I prevent my Twitter agent from repeating posts?**  
   - Adjust `frequency_penalty` and `presence_penalty` in `modelConfig`.  
8. **How do I delete a memory from the agent?**  
   - Use `runtime.messageManager.removeMemory`.  
9. **How do I set up an API endpoint for my agent?**  
   - Use `client-direct` to expose a REST API.  
10. **How do I install missing plugins like `plugin-birdeye`?**  
    - Some plugins were removed but are being re-added.
