FAQPage Schema
How do I reinstall Forge if the initial setup was interrupted?

The bootstrap process force-runs the Forge installer to execute a complete setup equivalent to `bunx @yka/forge@latest install`. It handles errors from previous installations and prompts for user confirmation before proceeding.

Why do I need to restart Claude Code after running a Forge installation?

You need to restart Claude Code after the Forge installation to enable all sub-plugins. The bootstrap process completes the setup and explicitly informs the user that a restart is required for all components to become active.

Can I retry a skipped Forge installation without uninstalling first?

Yes, you can retry a skipped Forge installation directly without uninstalling. The bootstrap skill runs the installer as if it is being installed for the first time, effectively overwriting or completing the missing setup.

Does the Forge bootstrap process require any specific dependencies or components?

The Forge bootstrap process does not require specific dependencies or components to function. It directly executes the installation command and includes built-in error handling logic to manage issues from previous installation attempts.

What happens if a previous Forge installation encountered errors?

If a previous Forge installation encountered errors, the bootstrap process includes logic to handle them. It will detect the failed state and prompt for user action if necessary to proceed with the reinstallation.
