# Quick Start

> From zero to a running OpenClaw gateway in under 5 minutes.

## Prerequisites

<Warning>
  Install Termux from **[F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/)** — NOT the Google Play Store. The Play version is severely outdated and will cause failures.
</Warning>

1. Install **Termux** from F-Droid
2. Open Termux and run `termux-setup-storage` (required for storage permissions)
3. Ensure you have a stable internet connection

***

## Step 1 — Run the bootstrap

Open Termux and paste this single command:

```bash theme={null}
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PsProsen-Dev/OpenClaw-On-Android/master/bootstrap.sh | bash && source ~/.bashrc
```

***

## Step 2 — Answer the prompts

The installer walks you through **8 steps** with yes/no prompts:

| Install Qwen Code CLI?             | ✅ Yes — works great on Android |
| Setup SSH server?                  | ✅ Yes — for remote access      |
| Setup Termux:Boot auto-start?      | ✅ Yes — for 24/7 operation     |
