update
openclaw update
Manage OpenClaw updates across stable, beta, and development channels.
Overview
The openclaw update command manages OpenClaw updates across stable, beta, and development channels. This tool handles version switching while maintaining configuration integrity.
Key Capabilities
The update system supports multiple installation methods. When switching channels explicitly, OpenClaw also keeps the install method aligned with your chosen channel - dev uses git checkouts, while stable/beta use npm distribution tags.
Primary Commands
openclaw update
openclaw update status
openclaw update wizard
openclaw update --channel beta
openclaw update --channel dev
Important Safeguards
The update process includes verification steps:
- For git-based installations, the system requires a clean worktree (no uncommitted changes) before proceeding.
- Downgrades require confirmation because older versions can break configuration.
Update Workflow Details
For dev channel users, the system performs preflight checks in a temporary workspace and can walk back up to 10 commits to find the newest clean build if the latest version has issues. All update paths conclude with running openclaw doctor as a validation step.
