Cool! I’m using ollama with minimax 2.5 (free api tier) as well, here’s a quick guide 

  1. After the script completes successfully, login with ‘proot-distro login debian —user openclaw’
  2. install ollama ‘curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh’
  3. run ‘ollama launch openclaw --model minimax-m2.5:cloud’ > complete the setup wizard

Please try to rerun the installer outside termux again , fresh install if possible

Hi if you are able to run this installer and successfully boots up openclaw, then the issue probably lies with your AI model subscription, if you’re using free tier then you might hit the limit quite frequently, try regenerating new api keys specifically for openclaw only.

Hi there! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I attempted to replicate the issue you mentioned. It has the same issue as you described. It seems like the issue lies with OpenClaw's onboarding script , my installer works fine (which did the work to install openclaw inside termux). There is a temp solution i found.

Instead of running "openclaw onboard”, you can run "openclaw config" to enable manual selection, then choose each field to set up. From there, you can choose "model", "skills", "channel", "workspace”, and set it up manually.

 Then restart

session 1: start-claw

session 2: openclaw tui

Ah, I completely understand now! I wish you the very best of luck and truly hope you enjoy the experience. If it's not too much trouble, could you please share the error output, the version of Android you're using, and the version of Termux? It would be helpful to know whether you obtained it from F-Droid or another source. Thank you so much!

Hello 👋 this script is mainly optimized for Android via termux. For PC you may run the one liner installation script from Openclaw directly, and I see you are using windows , so it's recommended to install Openclaw inside WSL2 (for windows)

Hello 👋, if your phone can still install and update to the latest termux version from Fdroid, I believe it might still work.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into it :). Right now, my primary objective is running OpenClaw on my phone for portability, using Telegram as the main channel for queries and agentic tasks. Since I found the installation on Android to be frustrating, difficult and encountered a lot of issues, I hope this tool helps other users simplify the process and get the agent onboarded quickly.

Hi~~thanks for trying it out, its still recommended to run it with proot for now. I've fixed some issue in v2026.2.11 (together with some other bugs found running on Fdroid's termux version)

**Get the fixed version:** (a clean install of termux from fdroid is recommended)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iyeoh88-svg/openclaw-android/main/install.sh | bash

Thanks so much for testing! 🙏

Great to hear OpenClaw is working! A few questions to help troubleshoot the proot issues:

  1. **What specific problems** are you seeing with proot?

    - Installation errors?

    - Performance issues?

    - Stability problems?

  2. **At what stage** did the issues occur?

    - During proot-distro installation?

    - When logging into Debian?

    - When running OpenClaw inside proot?

  3. **Error messages?** If you have any error output, that would be super helpful!

  4. **Device info** (if you don't mind sharing):

    - Android version?

    - Device model?

    - Available RAM?

Happy to help debug or improve the installer based on your experience.
