openclaw onboard
Interactive onboarding wizard (local or remote Gateway setup).
Examples
Non-interactive custom provider:
--custom-api-key is optional in non-interactive mode. If omitted, onboarding checks CUSTOM_API_KEY.
Non-interactive Z.AI endpoint choices:
Note: --auth-choice zai-api-key now auto-detects the best Z.AI endpoint for your key (prefers the general API with zai/glm-5).
If you specifically want the GLM Coding Plan endpoints, pick zai-coding-global or zai-coding-cn.
Flow notes:
quickstart: minimal prompts, auto-generates a gateway token.manual: full prompts for port/bind/auth (alias of advanced).- Fastest first chat:
openclaw dashboard (Control UI, no channel setup).
- Custom Provider: connect any OpenAI or Anthropic compatible endpoint,
including hosted providers not listed. Use Unknown to auto-detect.
Common follow-up commands
--json does not imply non-interactive mode. Use --non-interactive for scripts.
