Let me check the repo layout around acpx, because that error usually means the workspace package list and the dependency name stopped matching.
I found @openclaw/plugin-sdk in current main, so this is probably not “acpx depends on a package that no longer exists”. It looks more like pnpm isn’t seeing the workspace correctly on Joe’s machine.
I checked current main, and @openclaw/plugin-sdk does exist in the workspace at packages/plugin-sdk.
So this is probably a local workspace detection issue, not a real missing package in main.
Please paste these from the repo root, not extensions/acpx:
openclaw --version
node -v
pnpm -v
git rev-parse --short HEAD
pwd
ls packages/plugin-sdk/package.json
git sparse-checkout list || true
Then try:
corepack prepare pnpm@10.33.0 --activate
pnpm install
Most likely causes:
pnpm install from the wrong directorypackages/plugin-sdk never got pulledIf ls packages/plugin-sdk/package.json fails, your checkout is incomplete. In that case, do a full checkout or fresh clone.

That narrows it down a lot: your checkout really does not have packages/plugin-sdk, so pnpm is telling the truth. Let me check what that commit should contain.
Yep, that’s the root cause.
Your checkout is missing packages/plugin-sdk, but extensions/acpx now depends on it. So the repo on disk is in an incomplete / inconsistent state.
Two useful notes:
openclaw: command not found is not the main issue here, since you’re running from source.pnpm and node versions look fine.Safest fix: fresh clone of main, then install from the repo root:
git clone https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw.git
cd openclaw
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm ui:build
After cloning, this should exist:
ls packages/plugin-sdk/package.json
If you want to debug the current checkout first, paste:
git remote -v
git branch --show-current
ls packages
Docs:
My bet is this is just a busted checkout, not an acpx bug.

what is the command to cleanup all the packages that i download
alpine kelpBOT
If you mean pnpm-downloaded packages, the cleanup command is:
pnpm store prune
If you want a full local reset of this checkout:
find . -name node_modules -type d -prune -exec rm -rf '{}' +
pnpm install
If you want to wipe the entire pnpm store too, that’s the nuclear option:
