That’s the whole install. No shell-init step, no daemon, no config file.

As part of shll

Section titled “As part of shll”

If you’ve already run shll install, idea is already installed.

Terminal window
shll doctor              # verifies idea is wired correctly
idea --version

First use

Section titled “First use”

idea operates on fab/backlog.md relative to the current repo. If the file doesn’t exist, the first idea add will create it.

Terminal window
cd ~/code/your-project
idea "first backlog item"
cat fab/backlog.md       # the file is now created

No further setup needed.
