Guide through installing Overdeck prerequisites.

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

# Overdeck Installation Guide

## Overview

This skill guides you through installing all prerequisites for Overdeck, including Node.js, Docker, tmux, and other required dependencies.

## When to Use

- First-time installation of Overdeck
- User reports missing dependencies
- Setting up Overdeck on a new machine
- Troubleshooting installation issues

## Prerequisites

Overdeck requires:
- **Node.js** v18+ (for CLI and dashboard)
- **Docker** and Docker Compose (for workspaces)
- **Herdr** (default terminal backend for agent panes; auto-installed by `pan install` from https://herdr.dev/install.sh into `~/.local/bin`)
- **tmux** (legacy agent sessions and the opt-in `terminal.backend: tmux`)
- **Git** (for version control and workspace management)
- **Linear API key** (optional, for Linear integration)

## Installation Workflow

### Step 1: Check Current Status

First, check what's already installed:

```bash
pan doctor
```

This will show you which dependencies are missing or need updates.

### Step 2: Install Prerequisites

#### Automated Installation

The easiest way is to use Overdeck's built-in installer:

```bash
pan install
```

This will:
- Check for missing dependencies

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add eltmon/overdeck/pan-install@sha256:29a171108384c3b3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.758a002, 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.
