Usage Guide: Client environments

Before starting Cluddy Client, you must set the required environment variables. Without them, Cluddy Client will not be able to function.You need to specify:

Path to your public key

Path to your private key

Directory where the other party’s public key will be stored

1. Environment variablesSet the following variables:

PUBLIC_KEY_PATH — Path to your public key (id_rsa.pub)

PRIVATE_KEY_PATH — Path to your private key (id_rsa)

SIDE_KEY_DIRECTORY — Directory where the other party’s public key will be placed.
(Example: /Users/user/Desktop/cluddy-keygen/other-side — create this folder in advance and keep it near your own keys for convenience)

MacOS / Linux

Windows (PowerShell)

export PUBLIC_KEY_PATH=/path/to/id_rsa.pub export PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/path/to/id_rsa export SIDE_KEY_DIRECTORY=/path/to/other-side

2. Alternative setupIf you don’t want to set these variables manually, you can use Cluddy Envup, which will handle all configurations automatically.

Once these variables are set, you can proceed to Client starting — the next step in the guide.
