00 Setup · Instructor

Timing, talk track, failures, and reset for Polymarket setup.

macOS terminal: Run workshop commands in Terminal using zsh or bash.

Timing

15 minutes. Start service creation first; explain the architecture while Cloud becomes ready.

Talk track

Windows means Ubuntu on WSL 2. PowerShell is only for installing or inspecting WSL.
clickhousectl local use stable installs the client binary, not a local server.
.env.polymarket contains only ClickHouse Cloud access and collector tuning. There is no Polymarket secret.
Learners must source the file after every edit.

Common failures

Docker has no Server section: start Docker Desktop and enable WSL integration.
Repo is under /mnt/c: reclone under /home before Docker builds.
Cloud password was not saved: reset the default-user password in the Cloud console.
Gamma blocked: proceed with Cloud checks and mark the learner for fixture mode.

Reset

cd ~/ClickHouse_Demos/workshop_public/polymarket
cp -n .env.polymarket.example .env.polymarket
set -a; source ./.env.polymarket; set +a
./preflight.sh

Do not copy one learner's .env.polymarket to another machine.
