#Update stuck on doctor
1 messages ยท Page 1 of 1 (latest)
First thing: can you paste openclaw --version? Also, did you mean 2026.5.22 / 2026.5.20, or are those exact 2025 versions?
Running doctor checks is the final safety step of openclaw update; it runs openclaw doctor after install/build/plugin sync. If it has been sitting there for several minutes with no output, open a second terminal and run:
openclaw status
openclaw gateway status
openclaw logs --follow
If logs show nothing moving and the update terminal is genuinely hung, Ctrl-C is reasonable, then check where you landed:
openclaw --version
openclaw status --all
openclaw doctor --non-interactive
If doctor --non-interactive completes, run normal doctor once after that:
openclaw doctor
