node -v)npm install -g openclaw@latest
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
The --install-daemon flag installs the gateway as a background service (launchd on macOS, systemd on Linux). This means the gateway starts automatically on boot and keeps running—you don’t need a terminal open. The onboarding wizard walks you through config path, workspace location, and channel pairing.
