# `openclaw onboard`

Interactive onboarding wizard (local or remote Gateway setup).

Related:

- Wizard guide: [Onboarding](/start/onboarding)

## Examples

```bash
openclaw onboard
openclaw onboard --flow quickstart
openclaw onboard --flow manual
openclaw onboard --mode remote --remote-url ws://gateway-host:18789
```

Flow notes:

- `quickstart`: minimal prompts, auto-generates a gateway token.
- `manual`: full prompts for port/bind/auth (alias of `advanced`).
- Fastest first chat: `openclaw dashboard` (Control UI, no channel setup).
