FAQPage Schema
How do I automate NanoClaw setup and bootstrap background services?

Automate NanoClaw setup by installing dependencies, authenticating WhatsApp, registering the primary channel, and launching background services through a guided, repeatable bootstrap flow. The process validates prerequisites and provides remediation steps to ensure a working environment.

What do I need to install before configuring NanoClaw authentication on macOS or Linux?

Configuring NanoClaw authentication requires Node.js tooling and a container runtime installed on your system. The setup process validates these prerequisites across macOS, Linux, and WSL environments, providing guided remediation steps if anything is missing.

How does NanoClaw handle WhatsApp authentication and channel registration during deployment?

NanoClaw handles WhatsApp authentication through interactive prompts that configure and validate your credentials. After authentication, it automatically registers the primary channel and preserves configurations for subsequent setups to streamline repeated deployments.

Can I use NanoClaw setup to repeat deployments on WSL without manual reconfiguration?

Yes, NanoClaw setup supports repeated deployments on WSL without manual reconfiguration by preserving previous configurations. The bootstrap flow handles interactive prompts, validates environment prerequisites, and applies saved settings to ensure a working instance.

Why is my NanoClaw setup failing dependency checks during bootstrap?

NanoClaw setup fails dependency checks when required Node.js tooling or container runtimes are missing or misconfigured. The bootstrap process validates prerequisites across macOS, Linux, and WSL, providing guided remediation steps to resolve environment issues.

What is the best way to start all NanoClaw services from a clean environment?

The best way to start NanoClaw services from a clean environment is using the guided quick start bootstrap flow. It installs dependencies, verifies the environment, configures authentication, registers channels, and launches all background services automatically.
