The simplest and fastest way to setup OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a versatile personal AI assistant designed to manage tasks such as clearing inboxes, sending emails, and organizing calendars through various messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage, and others. It operates on personal hardware and can be easily set up using Ollama 0.17 or later with a single command. Users need Node.js and a Mac or Linux system, while Windows users can utilize WSL for installation. The setup process involves launching OpenClaw through a terminal command, which automatically installs and configures the assistant if it's not already present on the system, allowing users to start interacting with it via the terminal. OpenClaw's capabilities are enhanced with web search functionality if a cloud model is selected, and it can connect to different messaging apps for seamless communication. Users can choose from various models provided by Ollama, each optimized for different functionalities, with cloud models offering the best experience due to their full context length. For secure operation, it's advised to run OpenClaw in an isolated environment, and users should refer to the security documentation to understand the risks of granting system access.
