OpenClaw Deployment and Cloud Phone

This guide explains how to deploy OpenClaw and use natural language to let the AI assistant help you set up everything needed for cloud phone control.

1. Deploy OpenClaw (The Only Manual Step)

1.1 System Requirements

• Operating System: Linux / macOS / Windows (WSL2)
• Node.js: v18+ (v22+ recommended)

1.2 Installation and Startup

# Install OpenClaw
npm install -g openclaw

# Start the service
openclaw gateway start

# Access the web interface
# Open in browser: http://localhost:3000

1.3 First Conversation

After startup, OpenClaw will guide you through initialization:

• Introduce yourself (your name, timezone, language preference)
• Give the AI a name
• Set its personality and behavior style

Once complete, you can start conversing with the AI in natural language.

2. Let OpenClaw Prepare the Cloud Phone Control Environment

After deployment, you don't need to manually install any tools. Just tell OpenClaw what you want to do, and it will automatically complete all the preparation work.

2.1 Install Dependencies and Skills

In the OpenClaw chat interface, simply say:

Help me install adb, clawhub, and the duoplus-agent skill.

OpenClaw will automatically:

1. Detect your operating system
2. Install ADB (Android Debug Bridge)
3. Install ClawHub skill marketplace CLI
4. Use ClawHub to install the duoplus-agent skill
5. Verify all tools are working properly

The entire process takes about 1-2 minutes. You just need to wait.

2.2 Connect to Cloud Phone

Enable cloud phone adb

After installation is complete, tell OpenClaw your cloud phone address:

Help me connect to cloud phone 192.168.1.100:5555

OpenClaw will:

1. Use ADB to connect to the cloud phone
2. Verify the connection is successful
3. Get device information
4. Record device information in TOOLS.md for future use

The core philosophy of using OpenClaw to control cloud phones is: Describe what you want to do in natural language, and let the AI do it for you.
