# Updating
Clawdbot is moving fast (pre “1.0”). Treat updates like shipping infra: update → run checks → restart (or use `clawdbot update`, which restarts) → verify.

## Recommended: re-run the website installer (upgrade in place)
The **preferred** update path is to re-run the installer from the website. It
detects existing installs, upgrades in place, and runs `clawdbot doctor` when
detects existing installs, upgrades in place, and runs `moltbot doctor` when
needed.
```bash
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash
curl -fsSL https://molt.bot/install.sh | bash
```
Notes:
- Add `--no-onboard` if you dont want the onboarding wizard to run again.
- For **source installs**, use:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://clawd.bot/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method git --no-onboard
curl -fsSL https://molt.bot/install.sh | bash -s -- --install-method git --no-onboard
```
The installer will `git pull --rebase` **only** if the repo is clean.
- For **global installs**, the script uses `npm install -g clawdbot@latest` under the hood.
- For **global installs**, the script uses `npm install -g moltbot@latest` under the hood.
- Legacy note: `clawdbot` remains available as a compatibility shim.

```bash

It runs a safe-ish update flow:
- Requires a clean worktree.
- Switches to the selected channel (tag or branch).
- Fetches + rebases against the configured upstream (dev channel).
- Installs deps, builds, builds the Control UI, and runs `clawdbot doctor`.
- Installs deps, builds, builds the Control UI, and runs `moltbot doctor`.
- Restarts the gateway by default (use `--no-restart` to skip).
If you installed via **npm/pnpm** (no git metadata), `clawdbot update` will try to update via your package manager. If it cant detect the install, use “Update (global install)” instead.

## Update (Control UI / RPC)
The Control UI has **Update & Restart** (RPC: `update.run`). It:
1) Runs the same source-update flow as `clawdbot update` (git checkout only).
1) Runs the same source-update flow as `moltbot update` (git checkout only).
2) Writes a restart sentinel with a structured report (stdout/stderr tail).
3) Restarts the gateway and pings the last active session with the report.

Notes:
- `pnpm build` matters when you run the packaged `clawdbot` binary ([`dist/entry.js`](https://github.com/clawdbot/clawdbot/blob/main/dist/entry.js)) or use Node to run `dist/`.
- If you run from a repo checkout without a global install, use `pnpm clawdbot ...` for CLI commands.
- If you run directly from TypeScript (`pnpm clawdbot ...`), a rebuild is usually unnecessary, but **config migrations still apply** → run doctor.
- Switching between global and git installs is easy: install the other flavor, then run `clawdbot doctor` so the gateway service entrypoint is rewritten to the current install.

Doctor is the “safe update” command. Its intentionally boring: repair + migrate + warn.
Note: if youre on a **source install** (git checkout), `clawdbot doctor` will offer to run `clawdbot update` first.
