 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-02-09 - 3.5.0 - feat(install)
+add interactive install command and module to detect and install missing @git.zone packages
+
+- Add ts/mod_install/index.ts: implements interactive/non-interactive flow to detect package managers, collect installed @git.zone packages, prompt user (via smartinteract) and install selected packages via PackageManagerUtil.
+- Add ts/mod_install/mod.plugins.ts: re-export smartinteract and smartshell for the installer.
+- Update ts/tools.cli.ts: register new 'install' command and add help text for install flags.
+- Update ts/mod_update/index.ts: export GITZONE_PACKAGES and print a summary of managed packages that are not installed with latest versions and a suggestion to run 'gtools install'.
