### Do I have to buy a Mac Mini to install this?
No. Clawdbot runs on macOS or Linux (Windows via WSL2). A Mac mini is optional — some people
buy one as an always‑on host, but a small VPS, home server, or Raspberry Pi‑class box works too.
The only reason you’d **need** a Mac is if you want macOS‑only tools (like iMessage or Apple Notes).
In that case, run the Gateway on a Mac, or keep the Gateway on Linux and pair a macOS node.
Docs: [Nodes](/nodes), [iMessage](/channels/imessage), [Mac remote mode](/platforms/mac/remote).
