# E-WIRE-005

> Doctor found neither @vendoai/vendo nor the vendoai alias declared in package.json.

```text wiring/dependency theme={null}
broken: @vendoai/vendo (or vendoai alias) is not declared
```

`check: wiring/dependency` · `error_code: E-WIRE-005` · `doctor exits: 1`

## What you're seeing

Every other wiring check can look plausible in your source and this one
still fails, because it checks the manifest, not the code.

## Why

Doctor read `package.json` and found neither `@vendoai/vendo` nor `vendoai`
in `dependencies` or `devDependencies`. Nothing is actually installed.

## The fix

Install the package. Either name works; both ship the same `vendo` bin.

```bash theme={null}
npm install vendoai
```

Re-run `npx vendo doctor` once the install finishes.
