How to Install

Every HiveDeck package installs in under 60 seconds. One script. No configuration required.

Before you start

You need OpenClaw installed and running. If you have not done that yet:

Step 1 — Purchase and download

After checkout, Shopify delivers your ZIP file automatically. Check your order confirmation email for the download link. The file arrives instantly — no waiting, no manual approval.

Step 2 — Unzip the package

cd ~/Downloads
unzip hivedeck-<agent-name>.zip -d hivedeck-<agent-name>
cd hivedeck-<agent-name>

Step 3 — Run the installer

bash install.sh

The installer auto-detects your OpenClaw installation at ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json. It installs the agent to ~/.openclaw/agents/<id>/agent/, merges the agent config non-destructively, backs up your existing config first, and sets correct permissions (700/600). Nothing is overwritten without a backup.

Step 4 — Verify the install

bash verify.sh

Prints a confirmation that all files are in place and the agent config is correctly merged. If anything is wrong, it tells you exactly what to fix.

Step 5 — Restart OpenClaw

openclaw gateway restart

Your new agent is live. Talk to it through your configured channel (Telegram, WhatsApp, or WebChat).

Installing a bundle

Bundles include multiple agents and a master installer:

unzip hivedeck-bundle-name.zip -d hivedeck-bundle-name
cd hivedeck-bundle-name
bash install-all.sh

Installs all agents in the correct order. One command, full stack.

Uninstalling

Every package includes an uninstall script:

bash uninstall.sh

Removes the agent files and cleans the OpenClaw config. Your other agents are not affected.

Common questions

Do I need to configure anything after install?
No. Each agent ships with a pre-configured SOUL.md, TOOLS.md, and openclaw.json fragment. The installer merges everything. You can customize later — the files are yours.

Will this break my existing agents?
No. The installer is non-destructive. It backs up your existing config before making any changes. If something goes wrong, restore with cp ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.bak ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.

Which agents should I install first?
Start with the Governance Stack — Sentinel, Shield, and Auditor. These create the oversight layer that all other agents operate under. Then add execution agents on top.

Can I run multiple HiveDeck agents at once?
Yes. HiveDeck agents are designed to work together. The Governance Stack explicitly coordinates with execution agents. Install as many as you need.

I bought a bundle — do I install each agent separately?
No. Run bash install-all.sh from the bundle directory. It handles everything in order.
