| CLI reference for `openclaw setup` (alias for onboarding, with baseline setup available by flag) |
|
Setup |
openclaw setup
openclaw setup runs the same guided onboarding flow as openclaw onboard:
it verifies and persists inference first, then starts Crestodian to configure
the workspace, Gateway, channels, skills, and health. Use --baseline when you
only need to initialize config/workspace folders without the wizard.
In guided mode, --workspace <dir> is the workspace proposed to Crestodian;
it is persisted only after you approve that proposal. Baseline, classic, and
noninteractive setup persist the supplied workspace through their normal flow.
setup accepts the same onboarding flags as openclaw onboard, including
auth (--auth-choice, --token, provider key flags), Gateway
(--gateway-port, --gateway-bind, --gateway-auth, --install-daemon),
Tailscale (--tailscale), reset (--reset, --reset-scope), flow
(--flow quickstart|advanced|manual|import), and skip flags
(--skip-channels, --skip-skills, --skip-bootstrap, --skip-search,
--skip-health, --skip-ui, --skip-hooks). See Onboard and
CLI automation for the full flag reference and
non-interactive examples. openclaw onboard --modern is the compatibility
alias for the inference-gated Crestodian assistant and has no setup equivalent.
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
--workspace <dir> |
Workspace proposal in guided mode; persisted directly by baseline, classic, and noninteractive setup. |
--baseline |
Create baseline config/workspace/session folders without onboarding. |
--wizard |
Accepted for compatibility; setup runs onboarding by default. |
--non-interactive |
Run onboarding without prompts. |
--accept-risk |
Acknowledge full-system agent access risk; required with --non-interactive. |
--mode <mode> |
Onboarding mode: local or remote. |
--flow <flow> |
Onboard flow: quickstart, advanced, manual, or import. |
--reset |
Reset config + credentials + sessions before onboarding (workspace only with --reset-scope full). |
--reset-scope <scope> |
Reset scope: config, config+creds+sessions, or full. |
--import-from <provider> |
Migration provider to run during onboarding. |
--import-source <path> |
Source agent home for --import-from. |
--import-secrets |
Import supported secrets during onboarding migration. |
--remote-url <url> |
Remote Gateway WebSocket URL. |
--remote-token <token> |
Remote Gateway token (optional). |
--json |
Output a JSON summary. |
--classic and --non-interactive are mutually exclusive: classic opens the
prompted wizard, while noninteractive setup uses the automation path.
Baseline mode
openclaw setup --baseline preserves the older baseline-only behavior: it
creates the config, workspace, and session directories, then exits without
running onboarding.
Examples
openclaw setup
openclaw setup --baseline
openclaw setup --workspace ~/.openclaw/workspace
openclaw setup --import-from hermes --import-source ~/.hermes
openclaw setup --non-interactive --accept-risk --mode remote --remote-url wss://gateway-host:18789 --remote-token <token>
Notes
- After baseline setup, run
openclaw setuporopenclaw onboardfor the full guided journey,openclaw configurefor targeted changes, oropenclaw channels addto add channel accounts. - If Hermes state is detected, interactive onboarding can offer migration automatically. Import onboarding requires a fresh setup; use Migrate for dry-run plans, backups, and overwrite mode outside onboarding.
