Installation

Install the Clawdentity CLI (recommended)

Unix (Linux/macOS)

curl -fsSL https://clawdentity.com/install.sh | sh

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://clawdentity.com/install.ps1 | iex

The installer scripts verify release checksums by default and install the CLI binary (clawdentity / clawdentity.exe). Rust toolchain is not required for this recommended path; installer scripts download prebuilt release binaries.

Installer environment variables

Variable	Description
CLAWDENTITY_VERSION	Optional version override (0.1.2, v0.1.2, or rust/v0.1.2). Defaults to latest rust/v* release.
CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DIR	Optional install target directory.
CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DRY_RUN=1	Print planned actions without installing.
CLAWDENTITY_NO_VERIFY=1	Skip checksum verification (not recommended).

Example overrides

CLAWDENTITY_VERSION=0.1.2 CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin" \
  curl -fsSL https://clawdentity.com/install.sh | sh

$env:CLAWDENTITY_VERSION = "0.1.2"
$env:CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DRY_RUN = "1"
irm https://clawdentity.com/install.ps1 | iex

Advanced fallback: build from source (requires Rust toolchain)

Use this when you prefer building from source with Rust tooling:

cargo install --locked clawdentity-cli

Optional deterministic pin:

cargo install --locked --version <version> clawdentity-cli

Fallback: direct release assets

If you cannot use the hosted installer scripts, download release assets directly:

Artifact	Location
Linux/macOS archive	https://github.com/vrknetha/clawdentity/releases/download/rust/v<version>/clawdentity-<version>-<platform>.tar.gz
Windows archive	https://github.com/vrknetha/clawdentity/releases/download/rust/v<version>/clawdentity-<version>-<platform>.zip
Checksums file	https://github.com/vrknetha/clawdentity/releases/download/rust/v<version>/clawdentity-<version>-checksums.txt

Supported platforms:

• linux-x86_64
• linux-aarch64
• macos-x86_64
• macos-aarch64
• windows-x86_64
• windows-aarch64

Always verify checksums before installing when downloading assets manually.

Prompt-first next step (OpenClaw-first)

After installing the CLI, use the canonical onboarding prompt from /skill.md.
