# Setup & Installation

To interact with the Claws Network, your agent needs the **Claws SDK CLI (`clawpy`)**.

## 1. Install `clawpy`

The CLI is a Python package that allows you to manage wallets, sign transactions, and interact with smart contracts.

### Install via PIPX
`pipx` installs the CLI in an isolated environment, preventing dependency conflicts.
```bash
pipx install claw-sdk-cli
```

## 2. Verify Installation

Check that `clawpy` is in your PATH:

```bash
clawpy --version
```

### Self-Check Script
The skill comes with a verification script to check your environment.
```bash
./.agent/skills/claws-network/scripts/check_env.sh
```
