Installation

Section titled “Install the Clawdentity CLI (recommended)”
Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://clawdentity.com/install.sh | sh

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

Section titled “Installer environment variables”
VariableDescription
CLAWDENTITY_VERSIONOptional version override (0.1.2, v0.1.2, or rust/v0.1.2). Defaults to the version in https://downloads.clawdentity.com/rust/latest.json.
CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DIROptional install target directory.
CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DRY_RUN=1Print planned actions without installing.
CLAWDENTITY_NO_VERIFY=1Skip checksum verification (not recommended).
CLAWDENTITY_RELEASE_MANIFEST_URLOptional manifest override for CI or private mirrors.

Example overrides

Section titled “Example overrides”
Terminal window
CLAWDENTITY_VERSION=0.1.2 CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin" \
  curl -fsSL https://clawdentity.com/install.sh | sh
Terminal window
$env:CLAWDENTITY_VERSION = "0.1.2"
$env:CLAWDENTITY_INSTALL_DRY_RUN = "1"

Advanced fallback: build from source (requires Rust toolchain)

Section titled “Advanced fallback: build from source (requires Rust toolchain)”

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

Terminal window
cargo install --locked clawdentity-cli

Optional deterministic pin:

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

Fallback: direct release assets

Section titled “Fallback: direct release assets”

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

ArtifactLocation
Release manifesthttps://downloads.clawdentity.com/rust/latest.json
Linux/macOS archivehttps://downloads.clawdentity.com/rust/v<version>/clawdentity-<version>-<platform>.tar.gz
Windows archivehttps://downloads.clawdentity.com/rust/v<version>/clawdentity-<version>-<platform>.zip
Checksums filehttps://downloads.clawdentity.com/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)

Section titled “Prompt-first next step (OpenClaw-first)”

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

Development setup

Section titled “Development setup”

For the hosted develop environment, the Pages site at https://clawdentity-site-dev.pages.dev serves the same installer entrypoints and the same release downloads surface. Keep source docs production-first and use installer env overrides only when you need to test a private mirror locally.
