Install - Development Tool Installer¶

Overview¶

The install command is a unified dispatcher for installing standalone development tools. For services with lifecycle management (start/stop/logs), use their dedicated commands.

Key Concept: This is for standalone tools only. Use ujust jupyter install, ujust runners install, or ujust jellyfin install for managed services.

Component Groups¶

Component	Includes
`quick`	claude-code-npm, pixi
`core`	quick + homebrew, linters
`claude`	chunkhound, github-mcp, tweakcc, ccstatusline
`quality`	linters, devcontainers-cli

`google`	gemini-cli, firebase-cli, wrangler
`environment`	All of the above

Services vs Install¶

For This	Use This
JupyterLab	`ujust jupyter install`
GitHub Runners	`ujust runners install`
Jellyfin	`ujust jellyfin install`
Ollama	`ujust ollama install`

Claude Code Not Found After Install¶

Cause: Shell not reloaded

Fix:

# Or
source ~/.bashrc

Pixi Not Found¶

Fix:

# Add to PATH

# Or reload shell
exec $SHELL

Flatpak Install Fails¶

Check:

# Verify Flathub remote
flatpak remote-list

Fix:

# Add Flathub if missing
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub [https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo]([https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo](https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo))

Cross-References¶

Services: jupyter, runners, jellyfin, ollama (have lifecycle commands)
Configuration: configure (for enabling system services)
