OCM

OCM manages OpenClaw environments, runtimes, and services. This package contains a small Node launcher and platform-specific Rust binaries, not a JavaScript implementation or an install-time downloader. Rust is not required.

Supported: macOS ARM64/x64 and Linux x64 with glibc. Requires Node.js ^22.15.0 || >=24.0.0 and optional dependencies.

npm install --global @openclaw/ocm
ocm --help

Update a global installation with npm install --global @openclaw/ocm@latest, using the same Node installation and npm prefix. For a project-local installation, run npm install @openclaw/ocm@latest in that project. ocm self update refuses to overwrite npm-owned files; ocm self update --check reports GitHub binary releases, not npm availability. Use npm view @openclaw/ocm version to check npm.

npx --yes @openclaw/ocm@latest --help is suitable for one-off commands. Its temporary cache cannot own a background service. Install globally or in a durable project before installing or refreshing services.

An npm update does not restart the running OCM daemon or managed gateways. Inspect ocm service status, then schedule an explicit refresh:

ocm service refresh-daemon --acknowledge-gateway-restarts

Keep the installation path stable while services use it. Changing Node versions, prefixes, or deleting a local project requires rebinding the daemon from the new durable installation before removing the old one.

Each package's release.json records its signed source tag, commit, and GitHub asset digests. Native payloads also record the executable SHA-256. npm provenance identifies the protected packaging workflow; these embedded fields identify the native release source and are covered by the package digest.
