# One-Click Bootstrap
This page defines the fastest supported path to install and initialize ZeroClaw.
Last verified: **February 18, 2026**.
## Option A (Recommended): Clone + local script
```bash
git clone https://github.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw.git
cd zeroclaw
./bootstrap.sh
```
What it does by default:
1. `cargo build --release --locked`
2. `cargo install --path . --force --locked`
## Dual-mode bootstrap
Default behavior is **app-only** (build/install ZeroClaw) and expects existing Rust toolchain.
For fresh machines, enable environment bootstrap explicitly:
```bash
./bootstrap.sh --install-system-deps --install-rust
```
Notes:
- `--install-system-deps` installs compiler/build prerequisites (may require `sudo`).
- `--install-rust` installs Rust via `rustup` when missing.
## Option B: Remote one-liner
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash
```
For high-security environments, prefer Option A so you can review the script before execution.
Legacy compatibility:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
```
This legacy endpoint prefers forwarding to `scripts/bootstrap.sh` and falls back to legacy source install if unavailable in that revision.
If you run Option B outside a repository checkout, the bootstrap script automatically clones a temporary workspace, builds, installs, and then cleans it up.
## Optional onboarding modes
### Quick onboarding (non-interactive)
```bash
./bootstrap.sh --onboard --api-key "sk-..." --provider openrouter
```
Or with environment variables:
```bash
ZEROCLAW_API_KEY="sk-..." ZEROCLAW_PROVIDER="openrouter" ./bootstrap.sh --onboard
```
### Interactive onboarding
```bash
./bootstrap.sh --interactive-onboard
```
## Useful flags
- `--install-system-deps`
- `--install-rust`
- `--skip-build`
- `--skip-install`
- `--provider <id>`
See all options:
```bash
./bootstrap.sh --help
```
