OpenClaw Configuration

Configure OpenClaw on any OS, VM, or deployment target via natural language.

First Step: Fetch Latest Docs Index

Always fetch the latest docs index before doing anything:

curl -fsSL https://docs.openclaw.ai/llms.txt

Use this index to find the right documentation page for the user's specific need, then fetch that page with read_web_page for up-to-date details.
