1. 环境介绍
本文使用的操作系统及软件介绍:
| 名称 | 描述 | 文章 |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 专业版 | 在 Windows 系统上使用虚拟机软件 | |
| Oracle VirtualBox | 虚拟机软件(Windows 版本) | VirtualBox 介绍及安装 |
| ubuntu-24.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso | Ubuntu24.04 LTS 桌面版镜像文件 | 官方下载地址 ,我下载好的镜像 |
| Oh My Zsh | Zsh 终端配置管理工具 | Oh My Zsh 介绍及安装 |
| zsh-autosuggestions | 根据历史命令自动提示并补全命令 | Oh My Zsh 第三方插件 |
| zsh-syntax-highlighting | 检测命令是否存在,命令高亮显示 | Oh My Zsh 第三方插件 |
| nvm | node 版本管理工具 | nvm 安装和使用教程 |
2. 新建虚拟电脑
使用镜像文件(ubuntu-24.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso)创建虚拟电脑,虚拟硬件资源分配参考:
| 硬件项 | 推荐配置 | 核心理由 |
|---|---|---|
| 基础内存 (RAM) | 16384 MB(16GB) | 满足 AI 工具对内存的高需求,同时保证宿主机流畅 |
| 处理器 (CPU) | 4 核心 | 平衡性能与调度开销,足够处理并发任务 |
| 磁盘空间 | 100 GB | 预留充足空间给 Docker 镜像、模型缓存和系统更新 |
Ubuntu 24.04 Desktop 版安装完成后,将网络修改为桥接网卡,然后运行以下命令查看局域网 IP:
bash
# 查看 IP 地址
hostname -I
# 安装 openssh-server
sudo apt update
sudo apt install openssh-server -y
# 启动 ssh 服务
sudo systemctl start ssh
安装 Oh My Zsh 和 OpenClaw 都需要有 git,安装 OpenClaw 和 nvm 时需要使用 curl。
bash
# Ubuntu Desktop 没有预装 git curl,需要手动安装
sudo apt install git curl -y
终端 Shell 类型默认为 bash,安装并切换为 zsh 终端,然后安装以下工具(非必需,只是为了让虚拟机更好用):
- oh my zsh (需要先安装 git,因为它的安装脚本会使用 git 拉取代码)
- zsh-autosuggestions(历史命令提示,快速执行之前运行过的命令)
- zsh-syntax-highlighting(语法高亮,方便检查命令是否存在)
bash
# 安装 zsh
sudo apt install zsh -y
# 将终端 shell 类型切换为 zsh
chsh -s $(which zsh)
# 以下软件工具安装步骤略过,本文的软件介绍中有详细安装教程
# oh my zsh、zsh-autosuggestions、zsh-syntax-highlighting
3. 安装前的准备
获取模型提供商的密钥(API Key):
- DeepSeek 开放平台:https://platform.deepseek.com
OpenClaw 环境要求(在官方文档的入门指南中可以看到):
- Git:(OpenClaw 的安装脚本需要 Git)
- Node.js:推荐 Node 24(也支持 22.14+)
运行 OpenClaw 的安装脚本时,会检测是否已安装 git 和 node,如果没有安装会自动安装(国外仓库),为了加快 OpenClaw 的安装速度,所以在安装 OpenClaw 之前我们就先安装好 git 和 node,尽可能的减少安装时间。
推荐使用 nvm 安装 node,先安装 nvm,然后安装 Node 24:
bash
# nvm 安装命令(在软件介绍中有安装教程文章链接)
# ...
# nvm 安装后,重载 .zshrc 立即使用
source ~/.zshrc
# 安装 Node 24 最新的 lts 版本
nvm install 24 --lts
配置国内镜像,加速安装(如果不配置镜像,OpenClaw 安装很慢,并且大概率安装失败)
bash
npm config set registry https://registry.npmmirror.com
4. OpenClaw 安装
OpenClaw 官方网站(安装指南、使用文档):
- OpenClaw 官网:https://openclaw.ai
- OpenClaw 入门指南:https://docs.openclaw.ai/zh-CN/start/getting-started
运行以下命令安装(适用于 macOS / Linux):
bash
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
安装脚本运行后,你会看到以下内容(来到 Installing OpenClaw v2026.4.9 会卡住,正在下载 OpenClaw):

◇ Security ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ │
│ Security warning --- please read. │
│ │
│ OpenClaw is a hobby project and still in beta. Expect sharp edges. │
│ By default, OpenClaw is a personal agent: one trusted operator boundary. │
│ This bot can read files and run actions if tools are enabled. │
│ A bad prompt can trick it into doing unsafe things. │
│ │
│ OpenClaw is not a hostile multi-tenant boundary by default. │
│ If multiple users can message one tool-enabled agent, they share that delegated tool │
│ authority. │
│ │
│ If you're not comfortable with security hardening and access control, don't run │
│ OpenClaw. │
│ Ask someone experienced to help before enabling tools or exposing it to the internet. │
│ │
│ Recommended baseline: │
│ - Pairing/allowlists + mention gating. │
│ - Multi-user/shared inbox: split trust boundaries (separate gateway/credentials, ideally │
│ separate OS users/hosts). │
│ - Sandbox + least-privilege tools. │
│ - Shared inboxes: isolate DM sessions (`session.dmScope: per-channel-peer`) and keep │
│ tool access minimal. │
│ - Keep secrets out of the agent's reachable filesystem. │
│ - Use the strongest available model for any bot with tools or untrusted inboxes. │
│ │
│ Run regularly: │
│ openclaw security audit --deep │
│ openclaw security audit --fix │
│ │
│ Must read: https://docs.openclaw.ai/gateway/security │

│ Feishu: 飞书/Lark enterprise messaging with doc/wiki/drive tools. │
│ Google Chat: Google Workspace Chat app with HTTP webhook. │
│ Nostr: Decentralized protocol; encrypted DMs via NIP-04. │
│ Microsoft Teams: Teams SDK; enterprise support. │
│ Mattermost: self-hosted Slack-style chat; install the plugin to enable. │
│ Nextcloud Talk: Self-hosted chat via Nextcloud Talk webhook bots. │
│ Matrix: open protocol; install the plugin to enable. │
│ BlueBubbles: iMessage via the BlueBubbles mac app + REST API. │
│ LINE: LINE Messaging API webhook bot. │
│ Zalo: Vietnam-focused messaging platform with Bot API. │
│ Zalo Personal: Zalo personal account via QR code login. │
│ Synology Chat: Connect your Synology NAS Chat to OpenClaw with full agent capabilities. │
│ Tlon: decentralized messaging on Urbit; install the plugin to enable. │
│ Discord: very well supported right now. │
│ iMessage: this is still a work in progress. │
│ IRC: classic IRC networks with DM/channel routing and pairing controls. │
│ QQ Bot: connect to QQ via official QQ Bot API with group chat and direct message │
│ support. │
│ Signal: signal-cli linked device; more setup (David Reagans: "Hop on Discord."). │
│ Slack: supported (Socket Mode). │
│ Telegram: simplest way to get started --- register a bot with @BotFather and get going. │
│ Twitch: Twitch chat integration │
│ WhatsApp: works with your own number; recommend a separate phone + eSIM. │

恭喜你,进行到此处,OpenClaw 安装完成,打开新的终端窗口运行以下命令查看 OpenClaw 版本:
bash
# 简写形式:openclaw -v
openclaw --version
# 如果 openclaw 命令还是未找到,重载终端配置文件后重试
source ~/.zshrc
5. OpenClaw 初体验
现在我们已经将 OpenClaw 安装好了,接下来我们来体验一下
使用浏览器打开控制面板(必须在虚拟电脑内的终端执行,使用 SSH 连接虚拟电脑终端运行该命令无法打开控制面板)
bash
openclaw dashboard
在控制面板的 Chat 中发起聊天,发现 AI 一直在转圈加载,无法正常使用,这是为什么 ?
运行以下命令实时查看日志输出,作用类似于 Linux 的 tail -f,常用于调试和监控运行中的服务或任务
bash
openclaw logs --follow
你将会看到以下错误输出:
- 这说明 OpenClaw 客户端(CLI)想要连接网关,但是被网关的安全机制拦截了
- 简单来说,网关不认识你的命令行工具,觉得它是陌生设备,所以拒绝连接。这在 OpenClaw 中是很常见的 "新手墙"
- 解决方法:批准设备。相当于告诉网关:这个命令行工具是我自己在用的,放行
plaintext
error gateway connect failed: GatewayClientRequestError: pairing required
打开一个新的终端窗口,输入以下命令,查看待批准的设备,看是谁在请求连接
bash
openclaw devices list
你会看到类似这样的输出,重点看第一列的 Request ID(一串长字符):

复制上面的 Request ID,然后运行批准命令批准该设备
bash
openclaw devices approve 07b65ee4-ec14-44bc-b4fe-4461de1210da
批准设备后,再去控制面板 Chat 聊天就没有 Gateway 网关的错误了,但是仍然无法聊天,查看日志输出排查问题:
日志文件默认存放在 /tmp/openclaw 中,运行以下命令:
bash
# 查看目录下的问题
ls -al /tmp/openclaw
# 删除日志(为了方便排查新的问题,将之前的日志删除掉)
rm -rf /tmp/openclaw/*.log
# 查看实时日志
openclaw logs --follow
现在我们去控制面板 Chat 聊天,就可以看到终端的实时日志输出,得到错误信息:
- 402 Insufficient Balance:这是使用 AI 模型的余额不足(API Key),我使用的是 DeepSeek

我去 DeepSeek 开放平台充值了 10块钱余额(充值前需要实名认证),AI 就能使用了

聪明的你在初体验 OpenClaw 时,一定发现了在 Ubuntu 中无法切换中文输入法的问题,那么应该解决 ?
本文重点是 OpenClaw 的安装和使用,Ubuntu 的中文输入法问题,请移步:Ubuntu Desktop 切换中文输入法
6. OpenClaw 常用命令
查看 OpenClaw 版本号
bash
# 简写形式:openclaw -v
