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).
  1. Enable WSL 2: Open an elevated PowerShell and run wsl --install --no-distribution. Reboot if prompted.
  2. Install Ubuntu: Open an elevated PowerShell and run wsl --install -d Ubuntu. Let it finish first-run setup.
  3. Install Docker Desktop: Install Docker Desktop with the WSL 2 backend. Confirm WSL integration is enabled for your Ubuntu distribution.
  4. 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):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moorcheh-ai/memantoclaw/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash

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 your MOORCHEH_API_KEY.

Note: For MemantoClaw-managed environments, always use memantoclaw onboard when you need to create or recreate the OpenShell gateway or sandbox. Avoid using raw openshell commands 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 run memantoclaw onboard.
