Platform Guides

Installation and setup instructions for all supported platforms

OpenClaw runs on desktop and mobile operating systems. Installation and capabilities vary by platform: desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) gets the full CLI, gateway, browser control, and automation; mobile (iOS, Android) focuses on apps and voice so you can use your assistant on the go.

Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux): Install via the one-liner or npm, then run the gateway and connect channels. On macOS you can use the native menu bar app. On Windows, WSL2 is recommended for the best compatibility with the Node-based stack. Linux has full feature parity and is common for servers and Raspberry Pi.

Mobile (iOS, Android): Use the OpenClaw mobile apps to talk to your assistant via voice and chat. The gateway typically runs elsewhere (your home machine or a server); the app connects to it. Voice Wake and Talk Mode are available on supported devices. See each platform guide for app install and gateway pairing.
