# How to submit an Issue to a Mycroft repository
When submitting an Issue to a Mycroft repository, please follow these guidelines to help us help you.
## Be clear about the software, hardware and version you are running
For example:
* I'm running a Mark 1
* With version 0.9.10 of the Mycroft software
* With the standard Wake Word
## Try to provide steps that we can use to replicate the Issue
For example:
1. Burn the 0.9.10 image to Micro SD card using Etcher
2. Seat the Micro SD card in the RPi 3
3. Boot Picroft
4. Wait 3 minutes
5. The red light will come on indicating that the RPi 3 is overheating
6. Running `htop` via the command line indicates a number of Zombie'd processes
## Be as specific as possible about the expected condition, and the deviation from expected condition.
This is called _object-deviation format_. Specify the object, then the deviation of the object from an expected condition.
Example 1:
* When I say "Hey Mycroft, set your eyes to cadet blue", the eyes turn purple instead of blue.
Example 2:
* When I say "Hey Mycroft, what time is it in Paris", the time spoken is out by one hour - it's not observing daylight savings time.
Example 3:
* When I run `msm default` on my Mark 1, I receive lots of Git 'locked file' errors on the command line.
## Provide log files or other output to help us see the error
We will normally require log files or other troubleshooting information to assist you with your Issue.
This [documentation](https://mycroft.ai/documentation/troubleshooting/) explains how to find log files.
As of version 0.9.10, the [Support Skill](https://github.com/MycroftAI/skill-support) also helps to automate gathering support information.
Simply say:
* "Create a support ticket" _or_
* "You're not working!" _or_
* "Send me debug info"
and the Skill will put together a support package which you can email to us.
## Upload any files to the Issue that will be useful in helping us to investigate
Please ensure you upload any relevant files - such as screenshots - which will aid us investigating.
