# Install
|
|
|
|
Runtime baseline: **Node >=22**.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended (installer script)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This installs the `clawdbot` CLI globally via npm and then starts onboarding.
|
|
|
|
See installer flags:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash -s -- --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Details: [Installer internals](/install/installer).
|
|
|
|
Non-interactive (skip onboarding):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash -s -- --no-onboard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install method: npm vs git
|
|
|
|
The installer supports two methods:
|
|
|
|
- `npm` (default): `npm install -g clawdbot@latest`
|
|
- `git`: clone/build from GitHub and run from a source checkout
|
|
|
|
### CLI flags
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Explicit npm
|
|
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method npm
|
|
|
|
# Install from GitHub (source checkout)
|
|
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Common flags:
|
|
|
|
- `--install-method npm|git`
|
|
- `--git-dir <path>` (default: `~/clawdbot`)
|
|
- `--no-git-update` (skip `git pull` when using an existing checkout)
|
|
- `--no-prompt` (disable prompts; required in CI/automation)
|
|
- `--dry-run` (print what would happen; make no changes)
|
|
- `--no-onboard` (skip onboarding)
|
|
|
|
### Environment variables
|
|
|
|
Equivalent env vars (useful for automation):
|
|
|
|
- `CLAWDBOT_INSTALL_METHOD=git|npm`
|
|
- `CLAWDBOT_GIT_DIR=...`
|
|
- `CLAWDBOT_GIT_UPDATE=0|1`
|
|
- `CLAWDBOT_NO_PROMPT=1`
|
|
- `CLAWDBOT_DRY_RUN=1`
|
|
- `CLAWDBOT_NO_ONBOARD=1`
|
|
- `SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=0|1` (default: `1`; avoids `sharp` building against system libvips)
|
|
|
|
## Global install (manual)
|
|
|
|
If you already have Node:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g clawdbot@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you have libvips installed globally (common on macOS via Homebrew) and `sharp` fails to install, force prebuilt binaries:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1 npm install -g clawdbot@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm add -g clawdbot@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
clawdbot onboard --install-daemon
|
|
```
