Install Flow Details

ClawInstaller's setup wizard has 4 steps, all fully graphical.

Step 1: Environment Check (Preflight)

The wizard automatically checks 5 items:

Check Item	Description	Auto-Fix
macOS Version	Requires 14.0+	No (manual upgrade)
Node.js	Requires 22.0+	Yes (one-click install)
Package Manager	npm/pnpm/yarn/bun	Yes (one-click install pnpm)
Disk Space	At least 500 MB	No (manual cleanup)
Network	npm registry access	No (check your network)

Recommendation

We recommend pnpm as your package manager — it's fast and saves disk space.

Step 2: Install OpenClaw

After clicking "Start Installation":

1. Globally installs openclaw using your chosen package manager
2. Runs openclaw setup to initialize configuration
3. Starts the OpenClaw Gateway service

The entire process takes about 1-3 minutes, depending on network speed.

Step 3: Channel Setup

Optional — configure which channels your Agents use to communicate with you.

Step 4: Done!

After installation, you'll see:

• Installation duration
• OpenClaw version
• Share card with QR Code (share to Threads / X)

You can go directly to the control panel to manage your Agents.
