Install and update
Choose a package, complete first launch and verify your materials after an update. Finish active tasks before installing.

Open the official download page and expand the version menu. Do not guess the processor from a filename.
| Computer | How to check | Choose |

Install on Windows
- Download the Windows installer and check its version and filename. Expand Installation and version information to compare SHA-256 when needed.
- Run the installer and follow the wizard. If the system warns about risk, check the signature status and source shown on the website. Stop if the source is unknown or the checksum differs.
- Open ClawPi, wait for the workbench and follow the sign-in prompts.
- Complete a small task, receive a reply and reopen the conversation.
Install on macOS
- Download and open the DMG matching your processor.
- Follow the installer window to place the app in Applications, then launch it there.
- If the system blocks it, check the processor, minimum OS, signing and notarization notes. Do not disable system-wide security protections.
- Grant permissions only as needed for the current task. Installation does not authorize every computer operation.
Versions and capabilities can differ by platform. Windows remote-control instructions do not imply equivalent macOS support.
Check after updating
Save outputs and finish tasks before updating through the client prompt or official download. Keep existing user data; do not clear application data as an update repair.
