Use Supported Install Paths
OpenClaw docs list installer script as the default recommended approach for macOS. It simplifies dependency handling and onboarding.
Validate Post-Install Behavior
After setup, verify status, run diagnostics, and test message flow. Include restart behavior to ensure reliability during updates or host reboots.
Treat Channel Setup as First-Class
WhatsApp and Telegram each have different policy/activation behavior. Configure routing and access controls before inviting users.
Run Recurring Audit Checks
Use periodic security and policy checks to reduce exposure and drift as your setup evolves.
