openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Windows: Missing Discord runtime dependencies after npm global install [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by ensuring the required runtime dependencies are properly copied into the live install's node_modules directory.

Guidance

• Verify that the runtime-deps tree is correctly staged and contains all required dependencies.
• Check the installation script or process to ensure the copy step for runtime dependencies is executed and completes successfully.
• Consider modifying the installation process to automatically copy the required dependencies into the live install's node_modules directory.
• Investigate potential issues with the openclaw installation script or the npm installation process that may be causing the dependencies to be skipped.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to the installation process rather than a specific code error.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Windows 10 environment and the openclaw version 2026.4.24. Further investigation is needed to determine if this issue affects other platforms or versions.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by manually copying the required dependencies into the live install's node_modules directory, as described in the local fix applied, until a permanent solution can be implemented to ensure the dependencies are properly installed during the installation process.
