The Problem

OpenClaw has 257K+ stars and 3.1K open issues. A large chunk are installation problems:

Pain Point	% of new user issues	ClawInstaller fix
Wrong Node.js version, missing native deps	~35%	Auto-detect + one-click fix
Config file confusion (JSON, API keys)	~25%	Step-by-step guided wizard
"It installed but won't start"	~15%	Smart error diagnosis + fix

We automate the painful first 5 minutes — the stage where most people give up.
