# Nix Installation Documentation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The documentation describes setting up OpenClaw using Nix, with the primary recommended method being **nix-openclaw**, a Home Manager module that provides a pre-configured environment.
|
|
|
|
## Key Setup Method
|
|
|
|
Users are directed to paste instructions into an AI agent, which should:
|
|
|
|
1. Verify Determinate Nix installation
|
|
2. Create a local flake configuration using provided templates
|
|
3. Set up a Telegram bot with necessary credentials
|
|
4. Configure secrets management
|
|
5. Apply configuration via home-manager
|
|
6. Verify the launchd service is running
|
|
|
|
## What's Included
|
|
|
|
The nix-openclaw setup provides Gateway + macOS app + tools (whisper, spotify, cameras) — all pinned with automatic service persistence and plugin configuration capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## Nix Mode Runtime
|
|
|
|
When `OPENCLAW_NIX_MODE=1` is enabled (automatic with nix-openclaw):
|
|
|
|
- Configuration becomes deterministic and auto-install flows are disabled
|
|
- State and configuration use explicit paths via environment variables
|
|
- The macOS GUI app can enable this mode through system defaults
|
|
- Missing dependencies trigger Nix-specific error messages
|
|
|
|
## File Paths
|
|
|
|
State and configuration directories are configurable:
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR` (default: `~/.openclaw`)
|
|
- `OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH` (default: `$OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/openclaw.json`)
|
|
|
