jibo-cli v3.0.7

The official Jibo command-line interface — originally shipped as part of the Jibo SDK by Jibo, Inc. This tool lets developers initialise skill projects, deploy skills to a physical Jibo robot or the built-in simulator, and manage connected robots from the terminal.

This is an archived/preservation release distributed by the Jibo Revival Group. All required node_modules are bundled inside the package — no npm install step is needed.

---

Requirements

• Node.js v6 or later (v8 LTS recommended for best compatibility)
• On Linux/macOS: no additional dependencies
• On Windows: Git Bash or WSL recommended

No internet connection is required to install or run the CLI — everything is self-contained.

---

Installation

Option A — Install globally from the directory

cd jibo-cli-3.0.7
npm install -g .

Because node_modules is already present, npm will use the bundled modules without fetching anything from the registry.

After installation the jibo command will be available system-wide.

Option B — Run directly without installing

node bin/jibo.js <command>

Skill Templates

The templates/ directory contains two starter templates:

• behavior-template — A minimal skill with behaviours (the standard starting point)
• asset-pack-template — A skill that ships custom assets (sounds, animations, etc.)

jibo init will prompt you to choose one and fill in project metadata.

---

Simulator

The simulator (jibo sim) runs a desktop Electron application that mimics a Jibo robot. It communicates over the same WebSocket protocol as a real robot, so skills can be developed and tested without hardware.

The simulator source lives in the simulator/ directory.

---

Bundled Modules

All npm dependencies listed in package.json are included in the node_modules/ directory. The package is fully self-contained — no registry access, no npm install, no build step required.

Key bundled packages include:

Package	Purpose
electron-prebuilt	Powers the Jibo simulator
commander	CLI argument parsing
jibo-kb, jibo-sync, skills-service-manager	Jibo SDK runtime modules
animation-utilities	Robot animation helpers
ws-without-native	WebSocket communication

react	Simulator UI
fs-extra, fs-plus, wrench	File system utilities
