Pre-installed OS: CasaOS v0.4.4.3 (Linux)
Memory: 16GB DDR3L (1x SODIIMM Slot)
Openclaw: 2026.3.13 (61d171a)

Notice:

❗Do not follow official install step (you must GG)

# Windows PowerShell ❌
curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Step 0:

Install Vscode Extension: Remote - SSH

# C:\Users\User\.ssh\config
Host casaos
  HostName 192.168.0.17
  User casaos
  Port 22
  ServerAliveInterval 60
  ServerAliveCountMax 5
  TCPKeepAlive yes
  LocalForward 18789 127.0.0.1:18789

[Your application Web] → localhost:18789
        ↓
   SSH client (on your PC)
        ↓ (encrypted SSH tunnel)
   SSH server (remote host)
        ↓
   127.0.0.1:18789 (service on remote host)

LocalForward makes a remote service accessible on your local machine via an SSH tunnel.

Windows And Linux NTP Date use: time.windows.com

Forget to setting NTP... you will get disconnected (1008): device signature expired, When you login openclaw tui web.

Linux

# Sync Time With NTP
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ntpdate
sudo ntpdate time.windows.com
sudo apt install systemd-timesyncd
sudo systemctl enable systemd-timesyncd
sudo systemctl start systemd-timesyncd
timedatectl set-ntp true
timedatectl status
sudo timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Taipei

Windows

Step 2:

System Pre-installation:

# Install meson ninja
sudo apt install -y meson ninja-build

# Install Node.js with NVN or up to you
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.3/install.sh | bash

tar xf vips-8.18.0.tar.xz
cd vips-8.18.0
meson setup build --prefix /my/install/prefix
cd build
meson test
sudo meson install
sudo ldconfig

c. Update node.js sharp to 0.34.5 or later.

# Update sharp to '0.34.5'
npm install -g node-addon-api node-gyp
npm install -g sharp --unsafe-perm --verbose

d. Node.js Global ENV Setting
