不是翻译 —— 多数文档描述的行为已经不存在了。 先修一个更基本的问题:我们不拥有 u-claw.org 域名,那是上游的。所以之前写在 README、诊断包提示、联系方式里的 help@u-claw.org 全都会把用户的问题发给 上游 —— 一个没有理由回复的人。改为指向我们自己的 issue tracker,并加断言 禁止再出现指向该域名的支持入口。 重写(内容过时,不是语言问题): - install/README.md —— 还写着 10 个中国技能、DeepSeek 优先、国内镜像。 现在按实际流程写:技能读 manifest、模型菜单 Gemini 优先、bundle 有 SHA256 校验。并如实写明 curl|bash 在受管企业电脑上会被 EDR 拦。 - CLAUDE.md 的模型配置整节 —— 还在描述虾盘云首选卡片和 12 个 provider, 那个界面已经换成单框 Key 输入了。 - SECURITY.md —— 安全报告原本指向上游维护者个人邮箱。fork 之后那条路由 是错的:漏洞会发给写不了这份代码、也修不了的人。 - CONTRIBUTING.md —— 补上 fork 关系、pre-push 钩子怎么装、以及 `node --test tests/` 为什么不能用。 翻译并保留: - bootable/README.md、TROUBLESHOOTING.md —— 面向用户,顺带把 「国内镜像」「小米/华为 BIOS 按键」等换成目标市场的实际情况 HANDOFF.md 重写为一份事故复盘:原文一半是过时的一次性交接笔记(引用的 website/guide.html 已不在本仓库),另一半是 persistence.dat 未格式化导致 启动失败的排查记录 —— 后者有长期价值,尤其是「读 offset 1080 的两字节 验证 ext4」这个判断方法,已同时写进 bootable/README.md。 bootable/IMPROVEMENTS_SUMMARY.md 保留中文,加了说明:它是上游 fork 前的 历史改进记录,没人引用,描述的是已完成的工作而非当前行为。翻译它反而会 让人误以为是现行文档。 新增 skills/en/uclaw-help —— 把「怎么用、东西在哪、出问题怎么办」做成 内置知识,每个角色都装。方案 C10.8:能问的产品才是不需要学的产品。
One-line install
Installs OpenClaw, the skills and a model configuration in a single command, without a USB drive.
Install
Mac / Linux
curl -fsSL https://u-claw.org/install.sh | bash
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://u-claw.org/install.ps1 | iex
From a checkout
bash install/install.sh # Mac / Linux
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install\install.ps1 # Windows
These pipe a script from the network straight into a shell. That pattern is widely warned about, and on a managed corporate machine an EDR agent will often block it outright. If you are on a work laptop, use the USB build instead — that is what it is for.
What it does
| Step | Mac / Linux | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Node.js — into ~/.uclaw/runtime/, or reuses the system copy if it is v20+ |
same, under %USERPROFILE%\.uclaw\ |
| 2 | OpenClaw via npm | downloads a pre-built bundle, checksum verified |
| 3 | QQ plugin — optional, a failure here does not stop anything else | same |
| 4 | Skills — read from skills/manifest.json, fetched from the repo |
same |
| 5 | Model — pick one and paste a key | same |
| 6 | Start script — start.command / start.sh |
start.bat |
| 7 | Verify what landed | same |
Neither script contains any skill text of its own. Both call
lib/install-skills.mjs, which is the same installer the USB build and the
release pipeline use — that is what keeps the two platforms from drifting apart,
which they had badly done before.
Models
The menu leads with what is easiest to get working:
| Model | Why | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gemini | Easiest key to obtain — Google account, no card, free tier |
| 2 | Claude | Best all-rounder |
| 3 | GPT | Most widely used |
| 4 | OpenRouter | One key across many models |
| 5 | SEA-LION | Malay, Tamil and Singlish. Free, but rate-limited to 10 requests a minute |
| 6 | Local | Runs offline through Ollama |
| 7 | Other | Paste your own endpoint and model name |
Others — DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM and so on — work fine through option 7.

Notes
- Nothing touches your system Node. It installs into
~/.uclaw/runtime/, and reuses a system copy only if it is already v20 or newer. - Download sources are
nodejs.organdregistry.npmjs.org; the Windows bundle comes from our own releases and its SHA256 is checked before it is unpacked. Until recently the only check was "is the file bigger than 1MB", which is not a check. - Piped mode: under
curl | bashthere is no terminal to prompt on, so it takes the defaults and you set the model afterwards. - Uninstall:
rm -rf ~/.uclaw, or delete%USERPROFILE%\.uclawon Windows.
How this relates to the other builds
install/ one-line install over the network — this module
portable/ the USB build, the main product
bootable/ a Linux USB that boots a machine with no OS
u-claw-app/ Electron desktop app — deprecated, kept for archive
The result is the same as running advanced/Mac-Install.command from the USB
build. The difference is only that everything is fetched from the network rather
than copied off a drive.
