-  * If the problem happens in a Pyenv invocation, you can turn on tracing by setting `PYENV_DEBUG=1`, e.g. `env PYENV_DEBUG=1 pyenv install -v 3.6.4`
-    * If the problem is with `pyenv install`, make sure to also enable its verbose mode (`-v`)
-  * If the problem happens outside of a Pyenv invocation, enable shell trace output like this:
-     ```sh
-     export PS4='+(${(%):-%x}:${LINENO}): ${funcstack[0]:+${funcstack[0]}(): }'  #Zsh
-     export PS4='+(${BASH_SOURCE}:${LINENO}): ${FUNCNAME[0]:+${FUNCNAME[0]}(): }'  #Bash

+- [ ] Please attach the debug trace of the failing command as a gist:
+  * Run `env PYENV_DEBUG=1 <faulty command> 2>&1 | tee trace.log` and attach `trace.log`. E.g. if you have a problem with installing Python, run `env PYENV_DEBUG=1 pyenv install -v <version> 2>&1 | tee trace.log` (note the `-v` option to `pyenv install`).
