The Complete OpenClaw
Setup Guide

You're already using AI. But you're still doing everything manually — copying, pasting, switching tabs, repeating yourself. OpenClaw turns your AI into an agent that actually works for you: remembers who you are, runs tasks while you sleep, and messages you on Slack when it's done. This guide shows you exactly how to set it up — even if you've never touched a terminal.

About this guide

OpenClaw is one of the most capable AI agent frameworks available — and also the most under-documented. Most tutorials get you to "hello world" and stop. This guide doesn't.

It was written for people who want to run a real agent: one that's always on, knows who you are, connects to your tools, and doesn't quietly break when you close your laptop. Every chapter ends with a checklist so you always know exactly where you are.

The guide covers everything from the right machine to run OpenClaw on, through to a working multi-agent team. Config files are included verbatim. Commands are copy-paste ready. Security warnings are specific, not hand-wavy.
