# Linux App
|
|
|
|
The Gateway is fully supported on Linux. **Node is the recommended runtime**.
|
|
Bun is not recommended for the Gateway (WhatsApp/Telegram bugs).
|
|
|
|
Native Linux companion apps are planned. Contributions are welcome if you want to help build one.

## Install
|
|
|
|
- [Getting Started](/start/getting-started)
|

## Gateway
|
|
|
|
- [Gateway runbook](/gateway)
|
|
- [Configuration](/gateway/configuration)
|
|
|
|
## Gateway service install (CLI)
|
|
|
|
Use one of these:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
openclaw onboard --install-daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
openclaw gateway install
|
|
```
|
|
|

openclaw doctor
|

```
|
|
|
|
## System control (systemd user unit)
|
|
|
|
OpenClaw installs a systemd **user** service by default. Use a **system**
|
|
service for shared or always-on servers. The full unit example and guidance
|
|
live in the [Gateway runbook](/gateway).
|
|
|
|
Minimal setup:
|
|
|
|
Create `~/.config/systemd/user/openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=OpenClaw Gateway (profile: <profile>, v<version>)
|
|
After=network-online.target
|
|
Wants=network-online.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/openclaw gateway --port 18789
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
RestartSec=5
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=default.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Enable it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
systemctl --user enable --now openclaw-gateway[-<profile>].service
|
|
```
