# Set Up DashClaw Three ways to get DashClaw running, plus CLI and Claude Code hook setup. --- ## Instance Setup ### Option 1: Local Development ```bash # Clone the repo git clone git@github.com:ucsandman/DashClaw.git cd DashClaw # Install dependencies npm install # Run interactive setup (creates .env, initializes database) node scripts/setup.mjs # Start dev server npm run dev # → http://localhost:3000 ``` **Required environment variables (.env):** ```bash DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/dashclaw ENCRYPTION_KEY=<32-char-random-string> NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000 NEXTAUTH_SECRET=<32-char-random-string> DASHCLAW_API_KEY=<your-api-key> DASHCLAW_MODE=self_host ``` ### Option 2: Cloud (Vercel + Neon) 1. Fork the DashClaw repo on GitHub 2. Deploy to Vercel (connect the fork) 3. Create a free Neon Postgres database 4. Set `DATABASE_URL` in Vercel environment variables 5.
