First Light Quick Start is a written beginner guide for installing OpenClaw on a home Windows or Linux computer and reaching a first working assistant chat.

You get a step-by-step path: check Node and OS requirements, run the official installer or npm install, complete onboard, start the Gateway, open the dashboard, and send a first message. Windows covers the Hub companion, PowerShell installer, and WSL2. Linux covers the installer script, systemd user service, and dashboard check.

Deliverables: the First Light course (install, configure, first chat, safety defaults), printable command checklists, and Lampwright member forum plus chat access.

Who it is for: beginners who want to do the install themselves on one home machine.

Access: after checkout, open the First Light course in your Lampwright membership. Card payments only where Whop supports cards.
