## Common BLT Issues and Solutions

### BLT Command Failure (generic)

**Error Message:**

**Solution**
[TravisCI has an internal caching feature](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/caching) which can help speed up builds. At times, though, this cache results in semi-baffling build failures which cannot be replicated elsewhere. In these instances, the solution is sometimes simply to [clear Travis's cache](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/caching/#Clearing-Caches).


## FAQ

### Can I change the install profile ? / Do I have to use Acquia Lightning with BLT ?

You can use any install profile you want from Core, Contrib, or your own custom development. We just default to Lightning.

1. Customize *blt/blt.yml* if desired, such as to choose an install profile.

By default, BLT will install sites using the [*lightning*](https://github.com/acquia/lightning) profile. You can change this to any other core, contributed, or custom profile in your codebase. Make sure to download the profile if necessary, e.g., `composer require acquia/headless_lightning:~1.1.0`.


To use a profile other than Lightning, enter the name of the profile in blt/blt.yml in the profile:name setting. For example:
profile:
name: minimal
