How to install openclaw

Openclaw is developer utility. Treat this as an orientation note. Anything prescriptive should come from the maintainers directly.

Distribution in practice

Nothing universal applies here. Maintainers normally spell out the supported options, and the answer can differ between platforms and between releases.

Who is behind it

Day-to-day direction belongs to the maintainers. They set the roadmap, cut releases, and decide which platforms stay supported.

Before touching anything

Start from the support matrix. It narrows over time, and assumptions made years ago often no longer hold.

If something looks wrong

When results differ from expectations, check what is actually being picked up. Duplicate copies and stale caches are the usual explanation.

About these notes

Only text is published from this domain. Each project remains exactly where its authors put it.

A note on older machines

Hardware age matters more than people expect here. Recent releases tend to assume modern runtimes and current system libraries, so an ageing machine can rule out the newest version entirely.
