### Does Homebrew work on Linux?
Yes. Homebrew supports Linux (Linuxbrew). Quick setup:
```bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
echo 'eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> ~/.profile
eval "$(/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
brew install <formula>
```
If you run Clawdbot via systemd, ensure the service PATH includes `/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin` (or your brew prefix) so `brew`-installed tools resolve in nonlogin shells.
### Can I switch between npm and git installs later?
Yes. Install the other flavor, then run Doctor so the gateway service points at the new entrypoint.

Use managed overrides instead of editing the repo copy. Put your changes in `~/.clawdbot/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` (or add a folder via `skills.load.extraDirs` in `~/.clawdbot/clawdbot.json`). Precedence is `<workspace>/skills` > `~/.clawdbot/skills` > bundled, so managed overrides win without touching git. Only upstream-worthy edits should live in the repo and go out as PRs.
### How do I install skills on Linux?
Use **ClawdHub** (CLI) or drop skills into your workspace. The macOS Skills UI isnt available on Linux.
Install the ClawdHub CLI (pick one package manager):
```bash
npm i -g clawdhub
```
```bash
pnpm add -g clawdhub
```
```bash
bun add -g clawdhub
```
Install skills:
```bash
clawdhub install <skill-slug>
clawdhub update --all
```
ClawdHub installs into `./skills` under your current directory; Clawdbot treats that as `<workspace>/skills` on the next session. For shared skills across agents, place them in `~/.clawdbot/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`. Some skills expect binaries installed via Homebrew; on Linux that means Linuxbrew (see the Homebrew Linux FAQ entry above). See [Skills](/tools/skills) and [ClawdHub](/tools/clawdhub).
### Is there a dedicated sandboxing doc?
Yes. See [Sandboxing](/gateway/sandboxing). For Docker-specific setup (full gateway in Docker or sandbox images), see [Docker](/install/docker).
