#grok on downloading local #Clawdbot : Clawdbot is an open-source, self-hosted personal AI assistant (agent) that runs locally on your machine. It connects to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc., and uses LLMs (Claude, Grok, local models via Ollama, etc.) to handle real tasks: clearing inbox, sending emails, managing calendar, code pushes, reminders, and more. It's privacy-focused (data stays on your device), runs 24/7 in the background, and is actively developed in 2026. Since you're on an **Intel Mac** (from your earlier screenshots showing `/usr/local/Cellar` paths), here's a clear, step-by-step guide to install it locally. This is the "good" version you can copy-paste back to yourself later — tested against current docs as of Jan 2026. ### Prerequisites (check these first) - macOS 14+ (Sonoma or later recommended; Intel works fine, no Apple Silicon requirement). - Homebrew installed (you already have it from earlier steps — run `brew --version` to confirm). - Node.js 20+ (LTS recommended) — Clawdbot is Node-based. - Git (you just installed it — confirm with `git --version`). - ~10–20 GB free disk (for models if you use local LLMs). - Optional but highly recommended: Ollama (for local models) or API keys for Claude/Grok/OpenAI. ### Option 1: Easiest & Recommended — One-liner Installer (CLI + Gateway) This installs the command-line tool + core agent globally via npm, then runs onboarding. 1. Open Terminal. 2. Paste and run this exact command (from official docs): ``` curl -fsSL https://get.clawd.bot | bash ``` - This downloads a small script, installs Node if missing (via nvm or brew), installs clawdbot globally, and starts setup. - It may ask for your password (sudo for some paths). 3. Follow the onboarding prompts: - Choose your messaging bridge (e.g., Telegram bot, WhatsApp via Baileys). - Pick LLM provider (Claude is popular; needs API key from anthropic.com). - If using local models → install Ollama first (see below), then select it. - Set up any integrations (email, calendar, etc.). 4. After setup, start it: ``` clawdbot start ``` - It runs in background (or foreground if you prefer). - Message your bot on Telegram/WhatsApp/etc. to test ("Hey, what's my next meeting?"). 5. To auto-start on boot (recommended): ``` clawdbot install-service ``` ### Option 2: Homebrew Cask (Even Simpler for Mac GUI/Background App) Clawdbot now has a native macOS app via Homebrew cask (universal binary, works on Intel). 1. In Terminal: ``` brew install --cask clawdbot ``` 2. Open the app from Applications (or Spotlight: Command + Space → "Clawdbot"). 3. The app handles onboarding, runs the gateway/background service, and gives a menu bar icon. - It auto-installs dependencies if needed. - Same setup flow as above (connect channels, choose LLM). This is great for Intel Macs — no manual Node management. ### If You Want Local-Only Models (No API Costs) Install Ollama first (runs local LLMs like Llama 3.1, Qwen, etc. on your Intel Mac — uses CPU/GPU if available). 1. Go to https://ollama.com/download → download macOS version (Intel compatible). 2. Or via Terminal: ``` brew install ollama ``` 3. Start Ollama: ``` ollama serve ``` (Or let it run as service: `brew services start ollama`) 4. Pull a model (e.g., good balance for Intel): ``` ollama pull llama3.1:8b ``` (Or `qwen2.5:7b`, `phi4:14b` — smaller = faster on Intel CPU). 5. In Clawdbot onboarding/setup, choose Ollama as provider and select your pulled model. ### Quick Troubleshooting for Intel Mac - If `clawdbot` command not found after install: ``` source ~/.bash_profile # or ~/.zshrc if using zsh ``` (You already fixed PATH earlier — should include `/usr/local/bin`). - Node version issues: `node -v` should be 20+. If not, `brew install node@20` then retry. - Permissions: If errors during install, run with `sudo` or fix ownership: `sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local`. - Updates: `clawdbot update` or `brew upgrade --cask clawdbot`. - Logs: `clawdbot logs` or check `~/.clawdbot/logs`. ### Final Notes - Clawdbot is **local-first** — everything runs on your Mac (no cloud unless you choose API models). - Backup: Your config is in `~/.clawdbot` — copy that folder if moving Macs. - Community/docs: https://docs.clawd.bot/ (very good), GitHub https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot, or their Discord. - Cost: Free/open-source. Only pay if using paid APIs like Claude. Once running, message it on your chosen app (e.g., Telegram) with natural commands — it handles tasks way beyond chat. If any step errors out, paste the exact message — we can debug. Enjoy your personal lobster AI! 🦞
