FAQPage Schema
How do I automate NanoClaw initial setup and bootstrap on a fresh server?

Automate NanoClaw initial setup by running a guided interactive flow that handles dependency checks, environment validation, and service registration. This bootstrap process installs required components and starts background services to quickly deploy a ready-to-use environment with minimal manual intervention.

Does NanoClaw bootstrap work on macOS, Linux, and Windows Subsystem for Linux?

Yes, NanoClaw bootstrap works on macOS, Linux, and Windows Subsystem for Linux. The setup skill coordinates platform-specific runtime selection, automatically configuring the appropriate container runtime and node setup for each supported operating system during deployment.

What does the NanoClaw environment validation and dependency check process include?

The environment validation process verifies system dependencies, initializes the node setup, and configures the container runtime. It authenticates channels and registers background services within a guided flow to ensure your fresh environment meets all deployment requirements.

Can I configure Docker and Apple Container runtime automatically during NanoClaw deployment?

Yes, you can configure Docker and Apple Container runtime automatically during NanoClaw deployment. The setup skill orchestrates platform-specific runtime selection, applying the correct container configuration for your operating system to ensure services start correctly.

Why does NanoClaw setup fail on fresh environments without automated configuration?

NanoClaw setup fails on fresh environments because manual configuration is complex and error-prone, often missing critical dependency checks or service registrations. Automating the bootstrap ensures environment validation, proper container runtime setup, and correct channel preparation.
