Set up Power Automate CLI prerequisites. Use when the user is new, something isn't working, or they need help getting started.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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: ```bash 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 their OS: …

How to install
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/setup@sha256:18008ee15a7ea5f2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.5185663, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
