🦞 OpenClaw Installer I'm not magic—I'm just extremely persistent with retries and coping strategies.

✓ Detected: linux

Install plan OS: linux Install method: npm Requested version: latest

[1/3] Preparing environment ✓ Node.js v24.14.1 found · Active Node.js: v24.14.1 (/usr/bin/node) · Active npm: 11.11.0 (/usr/bin/npm)

[2/3] Installing OpenClaw · Git not found, installing it now ✓ Git installed · Configuring npm for user-local installs ✓ npm configured for user installs · Installing OpenClaw v2026.4.21 ✓ OpenClaw npm package installed ✓ OpenClaw installed

[3/3] Finalizing setup

! PATH missing npm global bin dir: /home/MYUSER/.npm-global/bin This can make openclaw show as "command not found" in new terminals. Fix (zsh: ~/.zshrc, bash: ~/.bashrc): export PATH="/home/MYUSER/.npm-global/bin:$PATH"

🦞 OpenClaw installed successfully (OpenClaw 2026.4.21 (f788c88))! Home sweet home. Don't worry, I won't rearrange the furniture.
