How to set up OpenClaw on Mac mini (full tutorial)
In this video, I walk step-by-step through how to set up OpenClaw (previously called Clawdbot or Moltbot) on a Mac mini, from absolute zero to a working, always-on AI agent.
You’ll see every terminal command, how to install Moltbot locally, how to connect it to Telegram, and how to verify that everything is running correctly. No skipped steps, no assumptions, and no prior server experience required.
I also explain whether you should run Moltbot / Clawdbot on a Mac mini or a VPS, including:
Security trade-offs
Monthly VPS costs
When local hardware specs matter
When a Mac Studio actually makes sense
Finally, I cover real use cases people are already testing with Moltbot, so you have ideas of what to do with it.
