🦞 OpenClaw + UseModel One-Click Setup Script

中文版

What is this?

A one-click setup script that configures OpenClaw to use UseModel as the LLM provider. Run one command, and you're ready to go.

🎁 Every new account gets $1 free credits — start using AI models immediately!

Features

• ✅ Auto-detects and installs Node.js (nvm / fnm / brew)
• ✅ Register or login to UseModel account
• ✅ Auto-creates API key (valid for 1 year)
• ✅ Configures OpenClaw with UseModel provider
• ✅ Installs OpenClaw CLI if not present
• ✅ Merges with existing OpenClaw config (preserves your settings)

Quick Start

curl -fsSL https://use-model.com/scripts/openclaw-setup.sh | bash

Or download and run manually:

git clone https://github.com/user/use-model.git
cd use-model/scripts
chmod +x openclaw-setup.sh
./openclaw-setup.sh

Screenshots

The script walks you through the entire setup process:

1. Environment Check — Verifies Node.js, curl, and API connectivity
2. Login or Register — Use an existing account or create a new one (new accounts receive $1 free credits)
3. API Key Creation — Automatically creates and stores an API key
4. Setup Complete — Shows your API endpoint, default model, API key, balance, and next steps

What the script does (step by step)

Step	Action
1. Environment Check	Verifies curl and Node.js >= 22 are installed. Offers to install Node.js via nvm, fnm, or brew if missing. Checks UseModel API connectivity.
2. Authentication	Login or register a UseModel account. New registrations include email verification and $1 bonus credits.
3. API Key	Creates an API key named "OpenClaw" (valid 1 year). Reuses existing key if found in local config.
4. Configure OpenClaw	Writes/merges ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json with UseModel provider settings. Backs up existing config if needed.
5. Summary	Installs OpenClaw CLI if needed, sets gateway mode to local, and shows next steps.

Default Configuration

After setup, your ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json will include:

{
  "models": {
    "mode": "merge",
    "providers": {
      "usemodel": {
        "baseUrl": "https://api.use-model.com/v1",
        "apiKey": "sk-...",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": [
          {
            "id": "minimax-m2.5",
            "name": "MiniMax M2.5",
            "contextWindow": 128000,
            "maxTokens": 32000
          }
        ]
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "primary": "usemodel/minimax-m2.5"
      }
    }
  }
}

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
USEMODEL_API_BASE	https://api.use-model.com	UseModel API base URL

Requirements

• curl — for API requests
• Node.js >= 22 — required by OpenClaw (script can install it for you)
• jq (optional) — for merging with existing config

After Setup

# Start the gateway
openclaw gateway

Test Your API Key

curl https://api.use-model.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"minimax-m2.5","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hello"}]}'

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Cannot reach UseModel API	Check your network connection. Try setting USEMODEL_API_BASE if using a custom endpoint.
Node.js install needs restart	Run source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.zshrc, then re-run the script.
Permission denied on npm install	The script will auto-retry with sudo.
Config merge failed	Install jq for proper config merging: brew install jq or apt install jq.
