Environment Config

Setup Run Commands

In addition to supporting running projects directly in the terminal, Clacky CDE provides a Run Project button that allows you to run projects with a single click and output logs to the Terminal. The commands executed behind Run Project are configured and saved in the .environments.yaml file.

Environment configuration file for project run commands; Any changes made will be auto-saved and take effect immediately.

When initializing a project, Clacky AI will automatically detect and configure the .environments.yaml file parameters.

Examples

A valid .environments.yaml file might look like this:

run_command: bin/dev
# dependency_command will be executed automatically before you fork a new thread.
dependency_command: bundle install && yarn install

A python project that doesn’t require compilation:

run_command: python main.py

A web service project that use pnpm and doesn’t require compilation:

run_command: pnpm run dev

The run_command now also supports array format for executing multiple commands. This is useful when you need to perform several operations in a monorepo:

run_command:
  - cd frontend && npm run dev
  - cd backend && rails s

Installing System Dependencies

In addition to using the pre-installed system dependencies, you can still use the following method to update, upgrade and add new system dependencies:

Use the sudo apt update or sudo apt install -y [package-name] command in the terminal to update and install additional dependencies.

Complete example:

# Update package list
sudo apt update

# Install dependencies
sudo apt install -y \
  build-essential \
  curl \
  wget \

After installation, verify with:

apt list --installed | grep [package-name]
