OpenClaw Installation Documentation
Overview
The documentation provides comprehensive installation guidance for OpenClaw, emphasizing the installer script as the recommended approach. The page covers system requirements, multiple installation methods, and troubleshooting steps.
Key Installation Methods
Recommended approach: The installer script handles both CLI setup and onboarding automatically.
System prerequisites include Node version 22 or higher, compatibility with macOS/Linux/Windows (WSL2), and pnpm only for source builds.
Installation Options
- Installer script - Automates global npm installation and runs onboarding
- Manual global install - Direct npm or pnpm installation with optional flags
- Source installation - Git clone approach for developers
- Alternative methods - Docker, Nix, Ansible, and Bun options available
Post-Installation
After setup completion, users should run the onboarding command and verify functionality with diagnostic tools. Run onboarding: openclaw onboard --install-daemon followed by health checks.
Common Issues
The guide addresses PATH configuration problems, providing diagnostic commands and shell configuration solutions for systems where the openclaw command isn't recognized after installation.
