How to install OpenClaw on Linux

On Linux the cleanest flow starts with the official script, continues with onboarding, and ends with a dashboard check. If you want a clean setup, this is the sequence worth following.

Installation command

It is the official command recommended for macOS, Linux, and WSL2. It skips needless manual steps and gets you faster to what matters: configuring OpenClaw for your workflow.

curl -fsSL --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Onboarding and validation

  • Onboarding sets gateway and initial settings.
  • The dashboard confirms immediately that chat responds.
  • From there you can move into plugins, tools, and more specific agents.

When extra help saves time

If the goal is to connect local or cloud models, add safe permissions, or build the first useful agent, the install command alone is not enough. That is where guided configuration saves more time than the command itself.
