The complete, tested OpenClaw setup guide — VPS to running agent in one day
About
Most people spend days struggling with OpenClaw setup. Wrong Node version, Telegram not connecting, memory not persisting, crons not firing. This guide eliminates all of it.
Built from a real same-day deployment. Every command was run. Every integration was tested. The troubleshooting section covers the actual errors you will hit.
Covers: VPS setup (Ubuntu 22.04, 2GB RAM min), npm install -g openclaw, Telegram bot via BotFather, 3-layer PARA memory system, nightly self-improvement crons, GitHub workspace backup, Gmail IMAP, SendGrid email, Brave Search API, Stripe payment integration, watchdog anti-stall protection, and daily automated reporting.
Monthly running cost after setup: $30–124 (VPS $12-24 + Anthropic API $20-100).
If you'd rather skip this entirely, we do it for you at clawaibuilder.com from $149. Done in 48 hours.
