[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"
source ~/.bashrc

Configure OpenClaw

Run the following command to start the configuration process:

openclaw onboard

After installation, proceed with the OpenClaw configuration. The following example uses the Kimi model.

After the configuration is complete, the terminal outputs a local access URL containing a token, for example:

http://127.0.0.1:18789/#token=7229793a7a0a32ff206ab91230ac991221c84301dc3447e6

Open this link in a browser to access the OpenClaw Web UI.

The token is the value shown in the URL printed by the console after the configuration process completes.
