clawdbot --version

Still Not Working?

Your PATH doesn't include npm's global bin folder. Here's how to fix it:

Step 1: Find where npm installs things

npm config get prefix

This will show something like /usr/local or /Users/yourname/.npm-global

Step 2: Add it to your PATH

Mac / Linux (zsh)

echo 'export PATH="$(npm config get prefix)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Mac / Linux (bash)

echo 'export PATH="$(npm config get prefix)/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Windows

Use WSL2 instead (recommended):

wsl --install

Then install ClawdBot inside Ubuntu.

Step 3: Try again

clawdbot --version
Still stuck? Try reinstalling: npm install -g clawdbot
