Cloud Environment Setup

Cloud Environment Setup

Set up a fresh cloud/mobile Claude Code environment with all tools needed for development.

Quick Start

Run the setup script to install all required tools:

.claude/skills/cloud-setup/scripts/setup.sh

Or verify an existing environment:

.claude/skills/cloud-setup/scripts/verify.sh

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Starting a new cloud/mobile Claude Code session
• Required build tools are not found
• User says "setup cloud", "setup environment", "install tools"
• Build commands fail due to missing tools
• User mentions "mobile Claude Code" or "cloud environment"

Configuration

Configure the setup for your project by setting these variables at the top of scripts/setup.sh and scripts/verify.sh, or via environment variables:

# REQUIRED: Tools your project needs (space-separated)
# The setup script will check for and install these
REQUIRED_TOOLS="git make"

# REQUIRED: Build command to run after setup
BUILD_CMD="make build"

# REQUIRED: Test command to verify the build
TEST_CMD="make test"

# OPTIONAL: Language-specific settings
PROJECT_LANG="auto"          # auto-detect, or: go, node, python, rust, java
PROJECT_LANG_VERSION=""      # e.g., "1.24" for Go, "22" for Node

# OPTIONAL: Verification command (runs a built artifact to confirm it works)
VERIFY_CMD=""                # e.g., "./bin/myapp --version"

# OPTIONAL: Extra environment variables needed for builds
BUILD_ENV_VARS=""            # e.g., "GOTOOLCHAIN=local GOPROXY=direct"

Environment variable overrides:

Variable	Purpose
REQUIRED_TOOLS	Override required tool list
BUILD_CMD	Override build command
TEST_CMD	Override test command
VERIFY_CMD	Override verification command
PROJECT_LANG	Override language detection
PROJECT_LANG_VERSION	Override language version

Environment Requirements

Common Required Tools

Tool	Purpose	Install
git	Version control	apt-get install git
make	Build automation	apt-get install make
gh	GitHub CLI	See setup script
jq	JSON processing	apt-get install jq

Language-Specific Tools

Language	Tool	Minimum Version
Go	go	1.24+
Node.js	node, npm	22+
Python	python3, pip3	3.10+
Rust	rustc, cargo	1.75+
Java	java, mvn/gradle	17+

Resource Requirements

Resource	Minimum	Recommended
RAM	4 GB	8+ GB
Disk	5 GB free	10+ GB
CPUs	2	4+
Network	Required	Required

Setup Workflow

Step 1: Assess Current Environment

# Check what's available
which git make gh 2>/dev/null

# Detect project type
ls package.json go.mod Cargo.toml requirements.txt pom.xml build.gradle 2>/dev/null

Step 2: Fix DNS (if needed)

Cloud environments sometimes have broken DNS:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" >> /etc/resolv.conf

Step 3: Install Build Tools

apt-get update && apt-get install -y make git jq

Step 4: Install Language Runtime

Detect the project language from manifest files and install the appropriate runtime. See the setup script for auto-detection logic.

Step 5: Install GitHub CLI

curl -L https://github.com/cli/cli/releases/download/v2.63.2/gh_2.63.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz -o /tmp/gh.tar.gz
tar -xzf /tmp/gh.tar.gz -C /tmp
mv /tmp/gh_*/bin/gh /usr/local/bin/
rm -rf /tmp/gh*

Step 6: Build Project

# Install dependencies (language-specific)
# Go: go mod download
# Node: npm install
# Python: pip install -r requirements.txt
# Rust: cargo fetch

# Build
$BUILD_CMD

Step 7: Verify

# Run verification command
$VERIFY_CMD

# Run tests
$TEST_CMD

Available Scripts

scripts/setup.sh

Full automated setup -- detects project type, installs tools, builds, and verifies.

Usage:

.claude/skills/cloud-setup/scripts/setup.sh

What it does:

1. Checks current environment
2. Fixes DNS if needed
3. Installs basic build tools (make, git)
4. Detects project language from manifest files
5. Installs language runtime
6. Installs GitHub CLI
7. Downloads dependencies and builds
8. Runs verification

scripts/verify.sh

Verify environment is correctly set up.

Usage:

.claude/skills/cloud-setup/scripts/verify.sh

Checks:

• Required tools are installed and correct versions
• Project builds successfully
• Tests pass
• Network connectivity

Troubleshooting Guide

See resources/troubleshooting.md for common issues and solutions.

Known Issues

1. DNS Resolution Failures

Symptom: dial tcp: lookup ... on [::1]:53: connection refused

Solution: Add Google DNS to /etc/resolv.conf:

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf

2. SSL/TLS Handshake Failures

Symptom: curl: (35) ... sslv3 alert handshake failure

Solution: Use wget --no-check-certificate instead of curl

3. Missing Basic Commands

Symptom: head, tail, grep not found

Solution: Either install coreutils or avoid piping:

apt-get update && apt-get install -y coreutils grep

4. Package Manager Issues

Symptom: apt-get fails with malformed sources

Solution: Remove problematic source files:

rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/problematic-file.list
apt-get update

Post-Setup Checklist

After setup, verify you can:

• Required tools are all in PATH and correct versions
• $BUILD_CMD succeeds
• $TEST_CMD passes
• gh --version works (if GitHub operations needed)

What You Can Do After Setup

With the environment configured, you can:

1. Build project: $BUILD_CMD
2. Run tests: $TEST_CMD
3. Work on code: Full read/write access
4. Commit and push: Git operations work
5. GitHub operations: Issues, PRs, releases via gh
