Lab Objectives:

• Get up and running with OpenClaw on a Ubuntu VM
• Set up a free Telegram Account
• Sign up for Kimi 2.5 API access ($5 or less)
  • Note: I am not affiliated with Kimi AI in any way. (It’s just a good value.)
• Send your agent out to conquer the galaxy!

Prerequisites:

• You’ll need an Ubuntu/Kali VM
  • I like Kali because we run OpenClaw in a Docker container. We can give OpenClaw access to the underlying host, and it will have access to all the Kali tools.
• You’ll need to set up a Telegram account.
• You’ll need to spend a few dollars on API credits with Kimi AI.

Install Docker

Make sure Docker is installed on your host

apt install docker.io docker-compose

Run the official OpenClaw Docker Container

Clone the Project Repository and run the setup.sh file.

git clone <https://github.com/androidteacher/OpenClaw-Kimi-2.5-Easy-Setup.git>
cd OpenClaw-Kimi-2.5-Easy-Setup 
./setup.sh

Once everything is downloaded, make sure your data directory is world writable:

• Your persistent/sensitive data will live in this folder.
• You’ll want to secure these permissions later, but for now, we’ll favor ease of setup.
