TL;DR

The issue is likely caused by the repeated installation of dependencies, and running openclaw doctor --fix may resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Verify that the dependencies are being installed correctly by checking the output of openclaw doctor --fix for any errors.
  • Check the package.json file to ensure that the dependencies are listed and their versions match the ones being installed.
  • Try running npm install manually to see if it completes successfully and if the issue persists.
  • If the issue continues, try deleting the node_modules directory and running openclaw doctor --fix again to reinstall the dependencies.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it's not necessary for this issue.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the installation of dependencies, and the openclaw doctor --fix command is not resolving the issue as expected. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Run openclaw doctor --fix and verify that the dependencies are installed correctly. If the issue persists, try deleting the node_modules directory and running openclaw doctor --fix again.
