Prerequisites

  • Node ≥22 (node -v)

Installation & First Run

npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard --install-daemon

The --install-daemon flag installs the gateway as a background service (launchd on macOS, systemd on Linux). This means the gateway starts automatically on boot and keeps running—you don't need a terminal open. The onboarding wizard walks you through config path, workspace location, and channel pairing.

See: Install, Onboarding Wizard

Useful Commands

  • openclaw status — Show channel health and recent sessions
  • openclaw health — Fetch health from the running gateway
  • openclaw security audit --deep — Audit config with live gateway probe
  • openclaw security audit --fix — Apply safe fixes to tighten security
  • openclaw doctor — Health checks and quick fixes for gateway
