bob-install

The acting half of the first-run pair. `bob-doctor` detects and reports what a machine is missing; `bob-install` is what fixes it. Keeping them apart is deliberate — `bob-doctor` is contractually read-only so it is always safe to run first, and that guarantee would be void if it also installed.

Inputs

  • vault_path — Vault root. Auto-detected from script location or cwd when omitted.
  • headless — Run non-interactively (--no-tui). Skips prompts; phase 7 API keys must then be set by hand.
  • phase — 1=System 2=AI-Tools 3=Obsidian 4=Plugins 5=Vault 6=Optional 7=API-Keys (1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7)
  • vault_path — Vault root. Auto-detected when omitted.
  • install_all — Install every plugin in the manifest (--all) instead of choosing interactively.

How you ask

  • I just unzipped the vault, now what?
  • Install BOB on this machine
  • Run setup phase 4 — my plugins didn't install
