Before you begin

You need a MultiClaw account to sign in on first launch. If you don't have one yet, see Create your account.

Download MultiClaw

The download.multiclaw.io page showing the Download for macOS button and platform cards for macOS, Linux, and Windows

Go to https://download.multiclaw.io and select your platform.

Install on macOS

Open the downloaded .dmg file.
Drag MultiClaw into your Applications folder.
Open Applications, then double-click MultiClaw to launch it. You can also open it from Spotlight (Cmd+Space, then type "MultiClaw").

Note:

On first launch, macOS may show a security prompt. If it does, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.

Install on Windows

Tip:

Both the .msi and .exe formats install the same application. If you're unsure which to use, choose the .exe installer.

Run the downloaded .msi or .exe installer.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
MultiClaw launches automatically when the installer finishes.

Note:

Windows SmartScreen may show a warning on first launch. Click More info, then click Run anyway.

Install on Linux

MultiClaw is available as an AppImage (portable, no installation needed) or as a .deb package (integrates with your application menu and package manager). Use AppImage if you're unsure.

AppImage (universal)

The AppImage runs on any compatible Linux distribution without installation.

Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded file.
Make the file executable:
```
chmod +x MultiClaw-*.AppImage
```
Run it:
```
./MultiClaw-*.AppImage
```

.deb package (Debian / Ubuntu)

In a terminal, run:
```
sudo dpkg -i multiclaw_*.deb
```
Alternatively, double-click the .deb file in your file manager and click Install.
Launch MultiClaw from your application menu or by running multiclaw in a terminal.

Note:

If dpkg reports missing dependencies, run sudo apt-get install -f to resolve them, then launch MultiClaw.

First launch

When you open MultiClaw for the first time, a welcome screen guides you through setup:

Choose how you want to run agents: Run locally (on your own machine) or Use cloud desktop.
Sign in with your email and password, or click Continue with Multiplai if you have a Multiplai account.
The app installs and starts OpenClaw automatically in the background. No manual configuration is needed.
Once setup completes, the main interface opens. You're ready to start your first conversation.
