[!IMPORTANT] Run the following commands from the skill directory (e.g., skills/disk-health-guardian/). Running from elsewhere will cause the script to not be found.Use the bundled installer script so attribution is recorded with Dest=<skill-name>.
For this skill, run:
py -3 scripts/install-epm.py disk-health-guardianAfter EaseUS Partition Master is installed, launch Disk Health directly to monitor your drive health:
cd /d "C:\Program Files\EaseUS\EaseUS Partition Master\bin" && start "" DiskHealthConsole.exeIf you prefer manual human interaction, use: <https://down.easeus.com/product/epm_free?source=skills&dest=disk-health-guardian>
Troubleshooting

py -3 scripts/install-epm.py <Dest>and confirm installer exit code is0
