I didn't understand, I'm Chilean and I don't understand English very well.

#

I'm using a translator right now, hahaha

hasty barn
#

¿Te funciona a ti? Soy inglés, pero estoy usando IA para traducir, así que voy a ir lento.

#

same

rare carbon
#

no se de que hablas

#

I don't know what you're talking about.

hasty barn
#

¿Te está funcionando la descarga a ti?

#

@rare carbon

rare carbon
#

hmm, no lo estoy descargando

hasty barn
#

Entonces, ¿por qué estás en el servidor, hermano?

There isn’t a “button” in Discord that installs it for you, but there is a basically-one-command installer (so you don’t have to mess with the repo/source code).

Easiest install path (recommended)

macOS/Linux

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell)

iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Then run the setup wizard:

openclaw onboard --install-daemon
#

You’re probably not screwed — most people get stuck on one of a few boring setup snags.

Tell me which part failed and paste the exact output/error (screenshots are fine). Also: what OS are you on (Windows/macOS/Linux)?

Meanwhile, here are the quickest “unstick” checks:

  1. Confirm Node is new enough
node --version

You want v22+.

  1. If the install script ran, verify OpenClaw exists
openclaw --version
#

You’re not screwed — 7 hours usually means you got stuck on one of the common “environment” traps (Node version / wrong install path / service not starting), not that you’re doing something impossible.

To get you unstuck fast, I need one screenshot or copy/paste of the exact error, plus:

  1. OS (Windows/macOS/Linux)
  2. Are you trying to run from source (git repo) or just install the CLI?
  3. Paste the output of these (and redact any tokens/keys):
node --version
openclaw --version

Fastest “fresh path” (no repo / no code)

If your goal is just “make it run”, do this:

Install

  • macOS/Linux:
#

No problem — you can write in your language and I’ll keep the steps super simple (I can translate back/forth).

To fix this fast, please reply with:

  1. Your OS: Windows / macOS / Linux
  2. The exact error message you see (copy/paste or screenshot)
  3. The output of:
node --version
openclaw --version

(Please hide any tokens/keys if they appear.)

If you haven’t installed yet and just want the easiest path (no code/repo):

macOS/Linux

#

Hey — I’m here.

To get you unstuck quickly, tell me just these two things:

  1. What OS are you on? (Windows / macOS / Linux)
  2. What’s the exact error you’re seeing? (copy/paste or screenshot)

If you can run commands, paste this output too:

node --version
openclaw --version

Once I have that, I’ll give you the one next step (no guessing / no long checklist).

#
  1. Try the wizard (it fixes a lot automatically)
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
  1. If you just want something working without any channel setup
    Run:
openclaw dashboard

That opens the browser Control UI so you can chat locally.

If you paste the first error line and the command you ran right before it, I can point to the exact fix.

# 
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
  • Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Wizard + run

openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw dashboard

If openclaw runs but things are broken

Run this and paste the output:

#

Got it — but I’m missing the details I need to actually diagnose it.

Reply with just one of these (whichever you can do easiest):

A) Paste these 2 lines of output

node --version
openclaw --version

B) Or tell me:

  • Windows / macOS / Linux
  • Which step you’re stuck on: install / onboard / dashboard
  • The exact error message (copy/paste or screenshot)

Once you send that, I’ll give you the exact fix for your case.

Perdón — me refiero a esto:

Necesito saber qué sistema usas y qué error te sale, porque si no, solo estaría adivinando.

1) Dime esto primero

  • ÂżEstás en Windows, macOS o Linux?

2) Y dime qué ves (elige una)

Opción A (más fácil): manda una captura del error.

OpciĂłn B (si puedes copiar/pegar): abre la terminal y pega lo que sale al ejecutar:

Windows (PowerShell):

node --version
openclaw --version
# 
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw dashboard

Windows (PowerShell)

iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw dashboard

What language are you using with the translator?

#

Vale — entonces estamos en el paso 0: aún no lo has instalado.

Importante: OpenClaw no es una app “hosteada” con botón de descargar y listo. Es auto-hosted: lo instalas en tu PC (o en un servidor) y lo ejecutas ahí. No hace falta “bajar el código” del repo.

Dime primero: Âżusas Windows, macOS o Linux?

Mientras, aquí está la forma más fácil según el sistema:

Windows (PowerShell)

  1. Abre PowerShell
  2. Pega esto:
iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex
  1. Luego:
#

OpenClaw isn’t a “Discord bot you click to install” or a hosted app you just log into.

It’s a self-hosted tool/framework: you run it on your own computer (or a server). That’s why I’m talking about Terminal/PowerShell commands.

So first: what are you trying to do?

  1. Do you want to run OpenClaw on your own PC? (yes/no)
  2. If yes: are you on Windows, macOS, or Linux?

If you answer those two, I’ll give you one simple set of steps for your OS (no “download the code repo” required).

Porque este servidor es la comunidad y el soporte de OpenClaw: aquĂ­ la gente viene a aprender, configurar, solucionar errores, compartir setups y pedir ayuda.

Lo que no es: un “bot ya listo” que instalas con un botón dentro de Discord.

OpenClaw es self‑hosted (lo ejecutas en tu PC o en un servidor). Por eso la ayuda aquí suele ser: “abre Terminal/PowerShell y corre X”.

Si lo que tú querías era “un bot que ya funcione sin tocar terminal”, dímelo y te digo honestamente si OpenClaw encaja contigo o no.

Y si sĂ­ quieres instalarlo, dime solo esto y te doy los pasos exactos:

  • ÂżEstás en Windows, macOS o Linux?
# 
openclaw doctor

And if the UI says offline / gateway issues:

openclaw gateway status
openclaw logs --limit 200

Send me what you get from those + OS, and I’ll tell you the exact next command to run.

#

macOS/Linux (Terminal):

node --version
openclaw --version

Si “no tienes idea de terminal”

Dime tu OS (Windows/macOS/Linux) y en qué parte te quedaste:

  • instalar
  • “onboard”
  • abrir “dashboard”

Con eso ya te digo el siguiente paso exacto.

# 
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw dashboard

macOS / Linux (Terminal)

  1. Abre Terminal
  2. Pega esto:
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
  1. Luego:
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
openclaw dashboard
#

Si me dices tu OS y qué te pasa cuando pegas el comando (error o no pasa nada), te digo el siguiente paso exacto.
