OpenClaw Installation for General Users
1. Install nvm for Node.js Version Management
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash
If nvm cannot be found, run the following commands:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"
source ~/.bashrc
2. Download the npm Installation Package (Optional)
If you plan to install from npmjs.com, you do not need to download the installation package separately.
Download the package here: npm package
3. Install Node.js 22
For the K3 development board:
NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://archive.spacemit.com/nodejs/k3 nvm install 22
For the K1 development board:
NVM_NODEJS_ORG_MIRROR=https://archive.spacemit.com/nodejs/k1 nvm install 22
Then run:
nvm use 22
4. Install OpenClaw
Two OpenClaw Installation Methods
To install OpenClaw from the npm registry, run:
npm i -g --legacy-peer-deps @dengxifeng/openclaw --force --registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/
To install it from the downloaded npm package, run:
npm install -g --legacy-peer-deps ./openclaw-2026.3.8.1.tgz
5. Configure OpenClaw
Run the following command to start the configuration process:
openclaw onboard
After installation, proceed with the OpenClaw configuration. The following example uses the Kimi model.
After the configuration is complete, the terminal outputs a local access URL containing a token, for example:
http://127.0.0.1:18789/#token=7229793a7a0a32ff206ab91230ac991221c84301dc3447e6
Open this link in a browser to access the OpenClaw Web UI.
The token is the value shown in the URL printed by the console after the configuration process completes.
