Quickstart & Windows Setup
MemantoClaw provides a CLI to launch and manage a sandboxed OpenClaw instance easily.Prerequisites
- A valid
MOORCHEH_API_KEY. - Docker installed and running on your system.
Windows Prerequisites
Running MemantoClaw on Windows requires WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux).- Enable WSL 2: Open an elevated PowerShell and run
wsl --install --no-distribution. Reboot if prompted. - Install Ubuntu: Open an elevated PowerShell and run
wsl --install -d Ubuntu. Let it finish first-run setup. - Install Docker Desktop: Install Docker Desktop with the WSL 2 backend. Confirm WSL integration is enabled for your Ubuntu distribution.
- Local Ollama (Optional): If using Ollama, install it inside WSL:
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh.
Installation
Install the CLI using the installer script (run this in your WSL/Linux terminal):Launching the Sandbox
Start the interactive onboarding wizard to configure your sandbox. The wizard will prompt you to select your inference provider and securely enter yourMOORCHEH_API_KEY.
Note: For MemantoClaw-managed environments, always usememantoclaw onboardwhen you need to create or recreate the OpenShell gateway or sandbox. Avoid using rawopenshellcommands for these lifecycle events.
Deploy to a Remote GPU Instance
You can deploy MemantoClaw to a remote GPU instance (e.g., Brev, AWS). The preferred path is to provision the VM, run the standard installer on that host, and then runmemantoclaw onboard.
