Updating

How to upgrade or switch OpenClaw versions. Based on official Updating.

Update to latest stable

npm install -g openclaw@latest
# or
pnpm add -g openclaw@latest

If you installed the system service via the wizard, you usually don’t need to reconfigure. If needed:

openclaw doctor

to fix the gateway service entrypoint and related config.

Switch release channel

• stable: Tagged releases (latest)
• beta: Prerelease (beta)
• dev: Moving head of main (dev, when published)

openclaw update --channel stable   # or beta / dev

See Development channels.

Rollback

Reinstall a specific version, e.g.:

npm install -g openclaw@1.2.3

Then run openclaw doctor so the service points at the correct binary.
