# Host dependencies for every Forgejo module

The installer lives in **verae-bootstrap** (not this summaries repo):

- Script: `scripts/host-deps.sh`
- Manifest: `host-deps.tsv` (one row per Forgejo repo)
- Narrative: [HOST-DEPS.md](https://git.georgelambert.org/marchon/verae-bootstrap/src/branch/main/HOST-DEPS.md)

It detects Debian/Ubuntu vs Alpine (and best-effort macOS), checks that git, curl, Node, native build tools, and `nats-server` are present, and **downloads/installs** whatever is missing on **this** machine.

```bash
git clone ssh://git@git.georgelambert.org:2223/marchon/verae-bootstrap.git
cd verae-bootstrap
bash scripts/host-deps.sh --check --type ns1-all-in-one
bash scripts/host-deps.sh --type ns1-all-in-one
export VERAE_SRC=$HOME/verae-src
bash scripts/fetch.sh ns1-all-in-one
```

Alpine if `bash` is not installed yet: `apk add --no-cache bash git curl`.

Catalog hostname move (relative PDFs): [CATALOG-HOST.md](CATALOG-HOST.md).
