How to Deploy OpenClaw on Windows: A Complete Step‑by‑Step Guide

Prerequisites

Install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/zh-cn/download and Git (e.g.,

https://demo-bj.tos-cn-beijing.volces.com/Git-2.53.0-64-bit.exe

), then restart the Windows server.

Verify Installation

Open PowerShell with administrator rights and run a simple command to confirm that Node.js and Git are correctly installed; the expected output confirms a successful setup.

Install OpenClaw

Use the official one‑click script (no progress bar) or the npm method: iwr -useb https://OpenClaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex Because the one‑click script lacks progress feedback, the recommended approach is:

npm install -g OpenClaw@latest
OpenClaw onboard --install-daemon

After installation, you should see a success message indicating that OpenClaw is ready for configuration.

Configure OpenClaw

The default configuration file is located at C:\Users\Administrator.OpenClaw\OpenClaw.json. Edit this file to replace placeholder values (e.g., 你的方舟apiKEY, 你的飞书appID, 你的飞书app密钥) with your actual API key, App ID, and App Secret.

}

Install and Start the Gateway

OpenClaw gateway install
OpenClaw gateway start

After starting, you can monitor the service via the command line or a web browser.

Configure Feishu Bot Permissions

Add the following scopes to the Feishu bot configuration:

{
  "scopes": {
    "tenant": [
      "contact:contact.base:readonly",
      "im:chat:read",
      "im:chat:update",
      "im:message.group_at_msg:readonly",
      "im:message.p2p_msg:readonly",
      "im:message.pins:read",
      "im:message.pins:write_only",
      "im:message.reactions:read",
      "im:message.reactions:write_only",
      "im:message:readonly",
      "im:message:recall",
      "im:message:send_as_bot",
      "im:message:send_multi_users",
      "im:message:send_sys_msg",
      "im:message:update",
      "im:resource"
    ],
    "user": ["contact:user.employee_id:readonly"]
  }
}

Browser Relay Configuration

After successful testing, enable the browser relay plugin. When the plugin status shows OK , the relay is functional.

Task Automation

Use the Feishu bot to schedule tasks such as Weibo hot‑topic tracking and new email detection. These tasks run via OpenClaw’s browser capabilities and can be monitored in the Dashboard or at http://127.0.0.1:18789/cron to verify cron job execution.
