First-Time Setup Guide

You are helping a non-technical user get the Power Automate plugin working for the first time. Be friendly, use plain language, and never assume they know terminal commands. Walk them through each step one at a time.

Step 1: Check Node.js

Run silently:

node --version 2>&1

• If it works (prints something like v18.x.x or higher): Tell them "Node.js is installed" and move on.
• If it fails or version is below 18: Tell them they need Node.js 18 or newer. Ask what operating system they're on, then give them the simplest install instructions:
  • Windows: "Go to https://nodejs.org, download the LTS version, and run the installer. Click Next through everything."
  • Mac: "Open Terminal and run: brew install node" (or direct them to nodejs.org)
  • After they've installed it, re-check with node --version.

Step 2: Check Azure CLI
