Check if Task Master is installed and install it if needed.
This command helps you get Task Master set up globally on your system.
## Detection and Installation Process
1. **Check Current Installation**
```bash
# Check if task-master command exists
which task-master || echo "Task Master not found"
# Check npm global packages
npm list -g task-master-ai
```
2. **System Requirements Check**
```bash
# Verify Node.js is installed
node --version
# Verify npm is installed
npm --version
# Check Node version (need 16+)
```
3. **Install Task Master Globally**
If not installed, run:
```bash
npm install -g task-master-ai
```
4. **Verify Installation**
```bash
# Check version
task-master --version
# Verify command is available
which task-master
```
5. **Initial Setup**
```bash
# Initialize in current directory
task-master init
```
6. **Configure AI Provider**
Ensure you have at least one AI provider API key set:
```bash
# Check current configuration
task-master models --status
# If no API keys found, guide setup
echo "You'll need at least one API key:"
echo "- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Claude"
echo "- OPENAI_API_KEY for GPT models"
echo "- PERPLEXITY_API_KEY for research"
echo ""
echo "Set them in your shell profile or .env file"
```
7. **Quick Test**
```bash
# Create a test PRD
echo "Build a simple hello world API" > test-prd.txt
# Try parsing it
task-master parse-prd test-prd.txt -n 3
```
## Troubleshooting
If installation fails:
**Permission Errors:**
```bash
# Try with sudo (macOS/Linux)
sudo npm install -g task-master-ai
# Or fix npm permissions
npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
```
**Network Issues:**
```bash
# Use different registry
npm install -g task-master-ai --registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
```
**Node Version Issues:**
```bash
# Install Node 18+ via nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
nvm install 18
nvm use 18
```
## Success Confirmation
Once installed, you should see:
```
✅ Task Master v0.16.2 (or higher) installed
✅ Command 'task-master' available globally
✅ AI provider configured
✅ Ready to use slash commands!
Try: /project:task-master:init your-prd.md
```
## Next Steps
After installation:
1. Run `/project:utils:check-health` to verify setup
2. Configure AI providers with `/project:task-master:models`
3. Start using Task Master commands!
