On Linux and Mac, the script also installs the CloudRift skill for coding agents it finds on your machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode). To skip that step, run curl -L https://cloudrift.ai/install-rift.sh | sh -s -- --agent-skills=skip. See AI Agent Skills.

2. Configure credentials​

Configure credentials using CloudRift command line tool by running

rift configure

You'll be asked to pick a login method: email and password, Google, or GitHub. Google and GitHub open a browser window to complete sign-in.

You can edit the config manually. Location depends on your operating system.

1. Inspect the cluster​

Once you've authenticated and launched the client it is time to inspect the cluster. Use rift cluster info command for this purpose. Ensure that you see details of all the machines that you have rented or launched CloudRift desktop application on.
