Openclaw wont install to path
Please help, trying to install openclaw on my raspberry pi 5 16GB ram. It has worked before in a docker image but wanted to give it dedicated access to the device as I am not using it for anything else. I have erased the Docker image completely and then tried to reinstall using the curl command but get the error below. edited ~./zshrc to add it to the path but it still didn’t work, troubleshooted for ages but got messy so reflashed my raspberry pi image and now still getting the error. Anyone had the issue/know how to resolve: [16ms][127][~]$ curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
