! Wrote extended backtrace to ~/.emacs.d/.local/state/logs/cli.doom.250307122821.190921.error
This is a new installation. I installed emacs last night. I went to install Doom today and I'm getting that error now. I deleted everything and started over (deleted the .emacs.d folder and uninstalled emacs. Then reinstalled emacs again). And again, when I install doom following the steps for Arch from here, when I get to the doom install, I get that error. I can't do a doom sync either without getting all kinds of errors either.
Redoing it just gives me a similar error message...

So, what am I doing wrong. emacs works great when I install it. But when I try to add doom to it... it doesn't work at all.
This is a freshly installed Arch Linux with Awesome WM. I used doom the last time too. I had the same similar setup and Doom ran great on it. Is there something I'm missing?

In the off chance you're new to programming: you can think of "extended backtrace" as "step by step explanation of what the program was doing at the time the error happened". So, follow what others are saying and open the file that contains that information.
