Hi everyone, I’m experiencing a persistent issue with the latest OpenClaw version (v2026.4.24).
Every time I run any openclaw command (e.g., openclaw --dashboard), the terminal starts installing a long list of npm packages (Anthropic SDK, AWS SDK, etc.) before actually executing the command.
Even after the installation finishes and the command runs successfully, running openclaw again triggers the exact same installation process all over again. It’s like it doesn't recognize that the dependencies are already installed.
What I’ve tried so far:
Reinstalled Node.js.
Reinstalled OpenClaw (clean install).
Current OS: Windows (PowerShell/CMD).
Has anyone else encountered this or knows a fix? Thanks!
