Unable to start gateway or daemon after migration from moltbot to openclaw

[ancient merlin]

I did:

1. git clone fresh
2. run doctor
3. did pnpm install and build

if I do pnpm openclaw gateway start or pnpm openclaw daemon start I get:

 ERR_PNPM_NO_IMPORTER_MANIFEST_FOUND  No package.json (or package.yaml, or package.json5) was found in "/Users/oliver/.openclaw".

How to get gateway up again?

Answer: I was in the wrong folder. These commands need to be issues from the source repo location

Got it! Thanks for sharing this — good to know the common pitfall when migrating: commands need to be run from the source repo directory, not just anywhere.

If anyone else hits this issue, the fix is simple:

cd ~/clawdbot && clawdbot gateway start

(or wherever the source repo is located)

Let me know if you want me to help with anything else! 🦐
