sootsim setup

Run the guided machine setup. It asks which package manager you use for app commands, explains repo-pinned Node versions, recommends installing sootsim globally, and offers the background daemon so every CLI command can reuse the same bridge instead of spinning up a server. No per-app SootSim install or iOS native build is required; run Metro/Expo/One normally, then open it with sootsim open.

#What Setup Offers

setup is the guided machine check behind the sootsim path:

• asks whether you prefer bun, pnpm, or npm for app-server commands
• explains repo-pinned Node versions from mise/nvm/package metadata
• recommends installing sootsim globally so later commands use bare sootsim
• installs the background daemon when it is missing, so CLI commands reuse one bridge instead of spinning up a server

No per-app SootSim install is needed, and no iOS native build is needed. Start Metro, Expo, or One normally, then run sootsim open <port>.
