OpenClaw is a popular, open-source, self-hosted autonomous AI agent that acts as a personalized assistant, capable of executing tasks such as managing emails, scheduling calendar events, and running terminal commands. It can be installed on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It runs continuously on local hardware or a server, enabling it to manage workflows on your server and communicate via messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing OpenClaw is a straightforward process that typically takes about 5 minutes. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a0df7b306d8b\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6a0df7b306d8b\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-openclaw-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Prerequisites\" >Prerequisites<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/blog\/how-to-install-openclaw-on-ubuntu-26-04\/#Step-1-Update-the-system\" >Step 1.

Update the system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start with the installation process of the prerequisites and OpenClaw, we need to update the packages to their latest available versions. To do that, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt update -y &amp;&amp; apt upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-2-install-nodejs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-2-Install-NodeJS\"><\/span>Step 2. Install NodeJS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NodeJS for OpenClaw is necessary for self-managed installs and compatibility. Choose manual npm only if you already manage Node.js yourself and you want the package without the bootstrap scripts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we will install curl since we need it for downloading NodeJS 24 source. To install <strong>curl<\/strong>, execute the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install curl -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, execute the following command to download the Node source:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -fsSL https:\/\/deb.nodesource.com\/setup_24.x | sudo -E bash -\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once downloading is finished, install NodeJS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt install nodejs -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Verify the installation of node and npm (npm installs along with the node):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">node -v &amp;&amp; npm -v\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You should get output similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# node -v &amp;&amp; npm -v<br>v24.14.1<br>11.11.0<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-3-install-openclaw\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-3-Install-OpenClaw\"><\/span>Step 3. Install OpenClaw<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will install OpenClaw using a script that automatically detects our environment and installs any missing components. To install OpenClaw, execute the following script command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">curl -fsSL https:\/\/openclaw.ai\/install.sh | bash<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you execute the script, the output should be like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">root@host:~# curl -fsSL https:\/\/openclaw.ai\/install.sh | bash<br><br>  &#x1f99e; OpenClaw Installer<br>  I read logs so you can keep pretending you don't have to.<br><br>\u2713 Detected: linux<br><br>Install plan<br>OS: linux<br>Install method: npm<br>Requested version: latest<br><br>[1\/3] Preparing environment<br>\u2713 Node.js v24.14.1 found<br>\u00b7 Active Node.js: v24.14.1 (\/usr\/bin\/node)<br>\u00b7 Active npm: 11.11.0 (\/usr\/bin\/npm)<br><br>[2\/3] Installing OpenClaw<br>\u00b7 Git not found, installing it now<br>\u2713 Git installed<br>\u00b7 Installing OpenClaw v2026.4.1<br>.<br>.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a couple of questions. We have installed OpenClaw with the following values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">I understand this is personal-by-default and shared\/multi-user use requires lock-down.
