If you installed with npm, run npm i -g openclaw@latest. For pnpm, it's pnpm add -g openclaw@latest. If you installed from source, use openclaw update --channel stable (you can also pass beta or dev for those channels).
After the update finishes, you need steps in this exact order:
openclaw doctor to validate that your config still matches the new version's schema.
openclaw gateway restart to restart the gateway with the updated code.
openclaw health to confirm everything is running.
Don't skip any of these. A config that was valid yesterday can become invalid after an update if the schema changed.
