# Install Plastic > **Recommended path:** for a first install, run `npx -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude` > in your shell (or `bunx -y @zalom/plastic@latest install --claude` if you use Bun). This skill > exists to **re-install or repair** an existing setup from inside the agent, and to > drive interactive global configuration. Whenever this skill performs an install or > re-install, it **runs `/plastic-doctor` afterward** and reports the result. ## Channel rule If Plastic is installed, derive `<channel>` from `~/.plastic/VERSION`: a version containing `-alpha` means `@alpha`, `-beta` means `@beta`, otherwise `@latest`. If not installed (first install), default to `@latest`. The user can always override with `--alpha` / `--beta` / `--latest`. ## Re-install / repair If Plastic is already installed but something is broken (skills missing, hooks not firing, leftover legacy plugin), re-run the installer, it is idempotent, prunes files that no longer ship, and removes any legacy plugin/marketplace layout: ```bash npx -y @zalom/plastic@<channel> install --reinstall --claude ``` Then **run `/plastic-doctor`** and report what it found. ## Channel Flags | Flag | Behavior | |------|----------| | `--latest` | Install from the stable channel (default on a first install) | | `--beta` | Install from the beta channel | | `--alpha` | Install from the alpha channel | When invoked from within Claude Code (re-install or channel switch), the skill runs the appropriate npx comm...
