Command
Ask the installer to run a command in a terminal or shell.
A command requirement asks the installer to run one or more commands in a terminal, shell, or CLI. The widget shows the exact command with a copy button so it can be pasted and run as-is.
When to use it
Use a command when setup happens on the command line: installing a CLI, running an install script, applying a migration, or restarting a service. It suits more technical installs or platforms where setup isn't done through a web admin.
How to configure it
You author the command text and drop variable placeholders in where per-installer values are needed:
npm install @acme/sdk
npx acme connect --token={{apiKey}} --domain={{domain}}Keep each command copy-paste-ready — the installer should be able to run it without editing. Inboard can tailor the surrounding instructions per platform where the shell or package manager differs.
How it's verified
Commands are most often verified with a custom check (your server confirms the result of the command, such as a registered client) or an HTTP check if running the command makes an endpoint respond. When the outcome can't be observed remotely, use self-report so the installer confirms the command ran. Some informational commands need no verification.
