Install, configure, secure and troubleshoot OpenClaw (formerly Clawdbot / Moltbot), the self-hosted personal AI assistant that answers through messaging apps. Covers installing on a Mac or Linux machine or a VPS with Docker (including Hostinger), Anthropic API setup and cost control, Telegram and iMessage channels, and hardening (gateway binding, pairing, tool limits). Use when the user mentions OpenClaw, Clawdbot or Moltbot, `openclaw onboard`, `openclaw doctor`, or setting up, fixing or…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# OpenClaw setup OpenClaw runs a **Gateway** on the user's own machine or server. The Gateway connects a model provider (here, Anthropic) to messaging channels such as Telegram and iMessage, so the user can talk to an agent that can run tools on that machine. That last part is why setup is mostly about safety: anyone who can message the bot, or reach the Gateway port, can try to make it act. Your job is a working install that only its owner controls and whose spending is capped. - Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai (source of truth for commands and config keys) - Source: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw ## Working with the user A person is present during setup, so explain choices in plain language and let them decide. Read-only checks (`openclaw --version`, `openclaw doctor`, `openclaw status`, `ss -tlnp`) can run freely. Before each of the following, say in one line what will change and get a yes: - running the installer (`curl … | bash`), `sudo`, or package installs; - editing `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (back it up first: `cp openclaw.json openclaw.json.bak`); - firewall, SSH, or Docker changes on a server, and stopping or restarting the Gateway; …

How to install
mdr add aznatkoiny/zai-skills/openclaw-setup@sha256:1b7c977f214af3f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.5b03da5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
