Get OpenClaw running on Windows in 5 minutes.
ClawReady automates the entire WSL2 setup — so you skip the nightmare and go straight to having an AI agent running 24/7 on your PC.
Installing OpenClaw on Windows is a nightmare.
The official docs assume you're a Linux sysadmin. Most people give up before they get anywhere.
Before ClawReady
The manual way
- Enable Hyper-V in BIOS (pray it's not greyed out)
- Run obscure DISM commands and reboot twice
- Figure out why WSL won't install from the Store
- Manually configure /etc/wsl.conf for systemd
- Install nvm, then node, then deal with PATH issues
- npm install -g openclaw → permission errors
- Create a Task Scheduler job that actually works
- Stop Windows from sleeping every 20 minutes
- Debug why OpenClaw dies after a Windows Update
- Google the same error three times over two weeks
- Give up. Close the laptop. Blame Microsoft.
Average time: 4–8 hours. Success rate: ~30%

Simple by design
From zero to running in 3 steps
Download & run the installer
After purchase, download ClawReady-install.ps1. Right-click PowerShell, run as Administrator, and execute the script.
Watch everything configure
ClawReady enables WSL2, installs Ubuntu, sets up Node.js, installs OpenClaw, configures systemd, Task Scheduler, and power settings — automatically.
Complete the setup wizard
A browser wizard opens to enter your Anthropic API key, set up your Telegram bot, and name your agent. Takes under 2 minutes.
What ClawReady handles
Everything. Automatically.
Every step that trips people up during a manual install is handled by the script — silently and correctly.
WSL2 auto-configuration
Detects if WSL2 is installed. If not, enables it via DISM, installs Ubuntu 22.04, and configures everything — including systemd support.
Node.js via nvm
Installs nvm inside WSL2, then installs the latest Node.js LTS. No version conflicts, no PATH headaches. Just works.
OpenClaw global install
Runs `npm install -g openclaw` inside WSL2 with correct permissions. Verified with a health check before proceeding.
Windows boot auto-start
Creates a Task Scheduler job that launches OpenClaw inside WSL2 every time Windows boots — no manual intervention needed.
Sleep prevention
Configures Windows power settings to keep your PC awake. Your AI agent stays online 24/7, not just when you're at your desk.
Telegram bot wizard
A browser-based setup wizard walks you through creating a Telegram bot and connecting it to OpenClaw — no manual config files.
Anthropic API key entry
Securely enter your API key through the local setup wizard. Stored in OpenClaw's config — never sent anywhere else.
Windows Update hardening
Disables active hours interference so Windows Update doesn't restart your machine mid-task while your agent is working.
I bought a $60 pawnshop laptop and got OpenClaw running in 5 minutes. Would have paid $50.

Common questions
Do I need to know Linux or command line?
No. You only need to right-click PowerShell and run as Administrator. The script handles everything else.
What Windows versions are supported?
Windows 10 version 2004 (May 2020 Update) or newer, and all versions of Windows 11. WSL2 requires these minimum versions.
What if something goes wrong?
The installer checks each step before proceeding and tells you exactly what failed. It's idempotent — you can run it again safely.
Do I still need an Anthropic API key?
Yes — OpenClaw uses the Claude API to power your AI agent. The setup wizard helps you enter your key, but you need to get one from console.anthropic.com first.
Is this affiliated with Anthropic?
No. ClawReady is an independent tool that automates the OpenClaw installation process on Windows. OpenClaw is a separate open-source project.
