graphe:setup

Check what the graphe skills need on this machine and print the install command for each gap.

Part of graphe: /plugin install graphe@techne.

When to use

After installing graphe, when a graphe skill reports latexmk, poppler, strings or Chromium missing, or to ask whether this machine can build LaTeX, PDFs or slides.

Usage

/graphe:setup

The skill runs a doctor script that only reads, then follows the setup runbook. It installs nothing itself. The doctor needs python3 3.9 or newer.

What it checks

Check Used by
uv Every graphe script.
latexmk, pdflatex graphe:latex, graphe:paper.
texcount Optional. The graphe:latex word budget.
biber Optional. Documents that use biblatex.
pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, pdftoppm The graphe:latex gates and graphe:slides. One poppler install covers all four.
strings The graphe:pdf font report.
chromium graphe:slides web decks. Required, so a LaTeX-only user still sees result: missing chromium.
pptx-renderer, node, pptxgenjs Optional. Building and rendering a .pptx deck.

Output

Each line starts with ok, missing, optional or n/a, then the check's name and a detail. A missing or optional line is followed by one or more fix: lines. The last line is result: ready, or result: missing with the names of the required checks that failed. The doctor exits 0 when nothing required is missing, and only reads.
