macOS Installation

Native Setup (Homebrew)

macOS is the native development environment for OpenClaw. Ensure you have Homebrew installed before proceeding.

brew install node@22 pnpm git

Quick Install

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

M1/M2/M3 Optimization

OpenClaw is fully optimized for Apple Silicon. For local model acceleration, we recommend using LM Studio or Ollama as the backend.

Security Note: macOS may require you to grant 'Accessibility' or 'Full Disk Access' permissions if you plan on using the browser or computer_control skills.
