# `openclaw onboard`
Interactive onboarding wizard (local or remote Gateway setup).
## Related guides

## Examples
```bash
openclaw onboard
openclaw onboard --flow quickstart
openclaw onboard --flow manual
openclaw onboard --mode remote --remote-url ws://gateway-host:18789
```
Non-interactive custom provider:
```bash
openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
--auth-choice custom-api-key \
--custom-base-url "https://llm.example.com/v1" \
--custom-model-id "foo-large" \
--custom-api-key "$CUSTOM_API_KEY" \
--custom-compatibility openai
```
`--custom-api-key` is optional in non-interactive mode. If omitted, onboarding checks `CUSTOM_API_KEY`.
Non-interactive Z.AI endpoint choices:
Note: `--auth-choice zai-api-key` now auto-detects the best Z.AI endpoint for your key (prefers the general API with `zai/glm-5`).
If you specifically want the GLM Coding Plan endpoints, pick `zai-coding-global` or `zai-coding-cn`.
```bash
# Promptless endpoint selection
openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
--auth-choice zai-coding-global \
--zai-api-key "$ZAI_API_KEY"
# Other Z.AI endpoint choices:
# --auth-choice zai-coding-cn
# --auth-choice zai-global
# --auth-choice zai-cn
```
Non-interactive Mistral example:
```bash
openclaw onboard --non-interactive \
--auth-choice mistral-api-key \
--mistral-api-key "$MISTRAL_API_KEY"
```
Flow notes:
- `quickstart`: minimal prompts, auto-generates a gateway token.
- `manual`: full prompts for port/bind/auth (alias of `advanced`).
- Local onboarding DM scope behavior: [CLI Onboarding Reference](/start/wizard-cli-reference#outputs-and-internals).
- 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
```bash
openclaw configure
openclaw agents add <name>
```
<Note>
`--json` does not imply non-interactive mode. Use `--non-interactive` for scripts.
