FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a CoreWeave development environment on a new machine?

To set up a CoreWeave development environment, you can use the cw dev init command to automatically configure authentication, install required development tools, and prepare local CKS clusters on macOS or Linux.

What is a local CKS cluster and when do I need it for CoreWeave development?

A local CKS cluster is a CoreWeave Kubernetes Service environment running locally for development and testing. You need it when developing applications that require Kubernetes orchestration before deploying to CoreWeave cloud.

Can I configure CoreWeave authentication and tools separately without starting a cluster?

Yes, you can perform selective setup for either authentication or development tools independently. The setup process coordinates cw CLI actions with guardrails, allowing you to skip cluster lifecycle management if not needed.

Does the CoreWeave dev tools setup work on both macOS and Linux?

Yes, the CoreWeave development environment setup and local CKS cluster management are fully supported on both macOS and Linux operating systems.

How do I start and stop a local CKS cluster using cw CLI?

You can start and stop a local CKS cluster through coordinated cw CLI actions that manage the cluster lifecycle. The process includes clear prompts and guardrails to ensure safe cluster state transitions.

What's the best way to troubleshoot CoreWeave dev environment configuration issues?

The setup process includes built-in troubleshooting and verification features to check your CoreWeave development environment configuration. These tools help identify authentication, tool installation, and cluster setup problems.
