boot_installer

Runs

{baseDir}/boot.sh
to manage the full openclaw environment lifecycle. Requires Linux and root/sudo access. The script handles privilege escalation automatically.

Slash commands

CommandWhat it does
/boot-install
Fresh install of all components
/boot-update
Upgrade all packages to latest versions
/boot-repair
Deep clean and rebuild broken state
/boot-check
Health-check — verify all components

When to run which mode

  • User says "install openclaw", "set it up", "run the installer" → install (no flag)
  • User says "update", "upgrade packages" → update
  • User says "repair", "fix", "something is broken", "rebuild" → repair
  • User says "check", "status", "is everything installed", "health check" → check

How to invoke

Always run as the calling user (sudo is handled internally by the script):

bash {baseDir}/boot.sh                # install
bash {baseDir}/boot.sh --update       # update
bash {baseDir}/boot.sh --repair       # repair
bash {baseDir}/boot.sh --check        # check — exits with number of failed checks (max 125)

Use the

exec
tool. Stream output so the user sees the spinner progress live.

What gets installed (install mode)

  • Node.js v24+ via NodeSource
  • UV Python package manager (
    ~/.local/bin/uv
    )
  • Python 3.10 venv at
    ~/venv
    with
    scrapling[fetchers]
  • Chromium browser via Playwright (
    ~/.cache/ms-playwright
    )
  • NPM globals:
    9router
    ,
    openclaw@latest
    ,
    clawhub
    ,
    paperclipai
    ,
    @presto-ai/google-workspace-mcp
    ,
    mcporter
  • System symlinks in
    /usr/local/bin
  • 9router
    autostart via systemd user service (falls back to
    .bashrc
    hook)
  • openclaw-gateway-watchdog
    systemd user service
  • Mcporter Google Workspace connector

After install

If

.bashrc
was modified, remind the user to reload their shell:

source ~/.bashrc

Logs and errors

The script writes a full log to

/tmp/boot-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.log
. If a step fails, the last 15 lines of output are printed inline and the log path is shown. Surface that path to the user on failure.

Check mode exit codes

--check
exits with the count of failed checks (0 = all pass, 1–125 = N issues, capped at 125). Parse the exit code and tell the user how many checks failed and to run
bash {baseDir}/boot.sh
to repair.

Troubleshooting

  • APT lock held — script waits up to 120 s and kills blocking processes automatically. No user action needed.
  • Node.js wrong version — script upgrades it automatically if the installed major is below 24.
  • Broken Python venv — run
    --repair
    first, then run without flags to reinstall packages.
  • 9router not starting — logs at
    ~/.local/share/9router.log
    . Falls back to
    .bashrc
    login hook if systemd unavailable.
  • Gateway watchdog not starting — run
    journalctl --user -u openclaw-gateway-watchdog -n 50
    .
  • Permission errors on files — run without flags (install mode);
    _fix_ownership
    runs at the end of every install/update.
