PowerShell 7.6.1 PS C:\Windows\System32> openclaw doctor --fix node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1459 throw err; ^

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Zalex\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\openclaw\openclaw.mjs' at Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1456:15) at defaultResolveImpl (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1066:19) at resolveForCJSWithHooks (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1071:22) at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1242:25) at wrapModuleLoad (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:255:19) at Module.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:154:5) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:33:47 { code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND', requireStack: [] }

Node.js v24.14.0

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by ensuring the openclaw.mjs file exists in the correct path within the global npm openclaw module directory.

Guidance

• Verify the existence and path of openclaw.mjs in the global npm openclaw module directory (C:\Users\Zalex\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\openclaw\).
• Check if the openclaw package is correctly installed and up-to-date by running npm install openclaw or npm update openclaw.
• If the file is missing, try reinstalling the openclaw package using npm uninstall openclaw followed by npm install openclaw.
• Confirm that the openclaw package version (2026.5.4) is compatible with Node.js version (v24.14.0).

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems related to module path resolution rather than code syntax.

Notes

The solution assumes that the openclaw.mjs file should be present in the specified directory. If the file is not supposed to be there, further investigation into the openclaw package structure and documentation may be necessary.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reinstall the openclaw package to ensure all necessary files, including openclaw.mjs, are correctly installed in the global npm module directory.
