One‑Click Deploy OpenClaw Demo: Step‑by‑Step Guide
## Prerequisites
– Node.js (v14+)
– Docker & Docker‑Compose
– Git
– Access to the OpenClaw GitHub repository
## Clone the Repository
bash
git clone https://github.com/ubos-tech/openclaw-demo.git
cd openclaw-demo
## Configure Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file (or edit the existing one) with the required variables such as `API_KEY`, `DB_PASSWORD`, and any AI‑agent credentials you wish to showcase.
## Run the Stack
bash
docker-compose up -d
The stack will start the backend, frontend, and AI‑agent services.
## Verify the Demo
Open `http://localhost:3000` in your browser. You should see the OpenClaw demo UI. Test the AI‑agent features to confirm they respond as expected.
