Supported versions#

Minimums for the pieces that run on your machine.

Runtimes#

Runtime	Minimum	Status
Hermes Agent	0.20.0	Supported
OpenClaw	2026.7.1	Coming soon

Host#

Requirement	Minimum
Node.js	24
Operating system	macOS, Linux, or WSL

Native Windows is not supported for the full signup and live-preview path. Use WSL there.

Linux packages#

xvfb-run, xauth, xdotool, unzip, setsid — needed to host and drive the signup browser.

FFmpeg#

FFmpeg with WHIP support, for publishing the live view. On supported Linux architectures the install fetches a verified static build when the system FFmpeg is unsuitable.

Networks#

Network	Use
Base	Production
Base Sepolia	Default test network

Legacy Ethereum test wallets support native-token operations but cannot use the USDC provisioning rail.

Keeping current#

Re-running the install and pair refreshes the CLI, the account skill, and the worker together. Doing that after a runtime upgrade is the cheapest way to stay consistent.
