What do I run after the install?

[safe canopy]

Hi folks

I think I've installed OpenClaw, but I've restarted my machine. How do I run it? I thought it might be just openclaw in a terminal, but I'm seeing this:

[j@homelab ~]$ openclaw
 openclaw crestodian - crestodian local - agent crestodian (Crestodian) - session main

 session agent:crestodian:main

Hi, I'm Crestodian.

- Start me when setup, config, Gateway, model choice, or agent routing feels off.
- Using: codex/gpt-5.5 for fuzzy local planning.
- Config: valid. Default agent: main.
- Gateway: reachable at ws://127.0.0.1:18789.

Everything basic is reachable. Use talk to agent when you want the normal agent.
 local ready | idle
 agent crestodian (Crestodian) | session main (Crestodian) | codex/gpt-5.5 | tokens ?

Is that normal? when I speak to it, it doesn't seem to respond. e.g. I told it: I'm going to call you Jack

But it just outputted the local ready | idle line again

I feel like I've done something wrong somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I typed talk to agent and I now get:

[crestodian] queued: tui.open
[crestodian] running: tui.open
 openclaw tui - local embedded - agent main - session main

 session agent:main:main


Wake up, my friend!
