## Install paths

  <Tab title="Agent skill">
    ### Two pieces

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
    # 1. Install the CLI (the skill drives it under the hood); include the [ows] extra
    #    so `peaqos wallet ...` works inside the skill's onboarding flow.
    pip install 'peaq-os-cli[ows]'

    # 2. Add the peaqos skill to your agent (auto-detects Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf)
    npx skills add peaqnetwork/peaq-os-skills
    ```

    Then invoke `/peaqos` in any Claude Code session. To target a specific runtime explicitly, add `--agent claude-code | cursor | windsurf`. See the [peaqOS AI page](/peaqos/peaqos-ai) for details and the manual upload path for ChatGPT / custom GPTs.

    ### Works with

    The `peaqos` skill ships first-class adapters for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf — auto-detected, or selected with `--agent`. Hosted assistants without a local CLI (ChatGPT, Claude Projects, custom GPTs) can load `AGENT-PROMPT.md` as a system prompt manually.

    The skill calls the JavaScript and Python SDKs through the CLI. Tabs below apply once you start editing code yourself.

    ### One command

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
    pip install peaq-os-cli

    # Optional: include OWS wallet commands (peaqos wallet create / import / list / …)
    pip install 'peaq-os-cli[ows]'

    peaqos init && peaqos activate --doc-url "https://example.com/docs" --data-api "https://example.com/events"
    ```

    <Warning>
      **After running `peaqos init`, open your `.env` and verify every contract address against the [peaq mainnet contracts](#peaq-mainnet-contracts) table on this page.** A known bug in the init wizard can silently write a contract address to the wrong variable name. If any address is missing or wrong, correct it manually before running `peaqos activate`.
    </Warning>

    Drives the same flows as the SDKs from your terminal: `peaqos init`, `peaqos whoami`, `peaqos activate`, `peaqos qualify event`, `peaqos qualify mcr`, `peaqos show machine`, `peaqos show operator machines`, `peaqos wallet`. See [peaqOS CLI](/peaqos/cli) for the full command reference. CLI and SDK wallet helpers live on [Wallets (OWS)](/peaqos/wallets).

    ### Package

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
    npm install @peaqos/peaq-os-sdk viem dotenv
    ```

    OWS wallet helpers (`createWallet`, `importWallet`, `PeaqosClient.fromWallet`, …) work out of the box; `@open-wallet-standard/core` is bundled as a regular dependency of `@peaqos/peaq-os-sdk`. See [Wallets (OWS)](/peaqos/wallets) for the full surface.

    `dotenv` is optional but recommended: `PeaqosClient.fromEnv()` reads from `process.env`, so `import "dotenv/config"` at the top of your entry file is the simplest way to load `.env`.

    ### Language + runtime

    * Node.js ≥ 22
    * TypeScript ≥ 5
    * Package exports both ESM and CJS builds; no bundler workarounds required.

    ### Imports

    ```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
    import "dotenv/config";
    import { PeaqosClient } from "@peaqos/peaq-os-sdk";
    ```

    ### Package

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light-default","dark":"github-dark"}}
    python3 -m venv .peaq-os
    source .peaq-os/bin/activate

    pip install "peaq-os-sdk>=0.4.0" python-dotenv

    # Optional: include the OWS wallet helpers (createWallet, importWallet, …)
    pip install "peaq-os-sdk[ows]>=0.4.0"
    ```

    `python-dotenv` is optional but recommended: `PeaqosClient.from_env()` reads from dotenv, so `load_dotenv()` at the top of your entry file is the simplest way to load .env.

    ### Language + runtime

    * Python ≥ 3.10
    * `web3.py` pulled in automatically.
    * Virtualenv strongly recommended. The commands above set one up.

Required only when the orchestrator runs with `PEAQOS_REQUIRE_API_AUTH=true`.                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `PEAQOS_ORCH_API_KEY`             | CLI, optional   | n/a                     | Same platform API key as `PEAQOS_API_KEY` but under the CLI-specific name. `peaqos init` writes this; `peaqos scale ...` reads it. Set both names to the same value if you use the CLI and SDK in the same env.                                                                                                                                         |

### Telemetry

The JavaScript and Python SDKs emit anonymous usage telemetry — which SDK operations run, tagged with a random install ID and with IP collection off (via PostHog, EU-hosted) — to help prioritize the roadmap. No private keys, wallet secrets, or machine data are sent. Telemetry is on by default; disable it with `PEAQOS_TELEMETRY=0` or the cross-vendor `DO_NOT_TRACK=1`. The CLI sends none.

## Public RPC endpoints

Use any of the <Tooltip tip={G.rpcUrl.def}>endpoints</Tooltip> below for `PEAQOS_RPC_URL`. QuickNode is the primary set; OnFinality and PublicNode are fallbacks. All of them accept <Tooltip tip={G.evm.def}>EVM</Tooltip> JSON-RPC calls. For private dedicated endpoints, see the [QuickNode](https://www.quicknode.com/guides/quicknode-products/how-to-use-the-quicknode-dashboard#create-a-quicknode-endpoint) and [OnFinality](https://documentation.onfinality.io/support/the-enhanced-api-service) guides.

## peaq mainnet contracts

Core <Tooltip tip={G.smartContract.def}>contracts</Tooltip> are UUPS upgradeable proxies; treat the addresses as the current proxy pointers. For the architecture diagram and what each contract is responsible for, see [Smart contracts](/peaqos/concepts/contracts).

<Warning>
  **Bridging cannot be exercised on agung.** LayerZero deprecated the agung endpoint (EID `40299`): DVNs and executors are no longer active, so `bridgeNft` / `bridge_nft` cannot relay. No agung `MachineNFTAdapter` appears in peaq deployment records. Leave `MACHINE_NFT_ADAPTER_ADDRESS` unset on agung and test the bridge on peaq mainnet ↔ Base mainnet only.
</Warning>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="INVALID_2FA: OTP code rejected">
    The OTP from your authenticator app was wrong or expired. Generate a fresh code and retry. See full [error code reference](/peaqos/sdk-reference/errors).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="2FA_LOCKED: too many invalid attempts">
    The faucet throttles owners after repeated bad OTPs. Wait out the lockout window and retry. See [error code reference](/peaqos/sdk-reference/errors).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="RATE_LIMITED: faucet rate limit reached">
    The faucet enforces a per-IP and per-wallet cap. Retry after the cooldown. See [error code reference](/peaqos/sdk-reference/errors).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="CAP_EXCEEDED_OWNER: daily owner cap reached">
    The same owner address has hit the daily funding cap. Wait 24 hours or contact support. See [error code reference](/peaqos/sdk-reference/errors).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Missing PEAQOS_RPC_URL">
    Set `PEAQOS_RPC_URL` in your environment to a valid peaq chain RPC endpoint (e.g., `https://peaq.api.onfinality.io/public`). Without it, `PeaqosClient.fromEnv()` raises a `ValidationError`. See [Public RPC endpoints](#public-rpc-endpoints) for the full list. Full error taxonomy on [errors](/peaqos/sdk-reference/errors).
