How to install OpenClaw on macOS

On macOS the simplest route is still the official script. If you want to reach the first chat quickly and then move to a useful agent, the right flow is installation, onboarding, and a final dashboard check.

Official command

The script handles installation and basic prerequisites. It is the most direct choice if you want to avoid fragmented setup.

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

Next steps

openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw dashboard
  • Onboarding configures the first settings in a guided way.
  • The dashboard lets you confirm immediately that the system responds.
  • From there you can add agents, plugins, and tools that matter to your workflow.

When this guide is enough and when it is not

If you only want to install OpenClaw and reach a first chat, this page is enough. If you also want to connect models, permissions, plugins, or a ready-to-use agent, it makes sense to move to a fuller guided configuration.
