# OpenClaw Installer - Final Success Report

## ✅ COMPLETE FIX IMPLEMENTED

### Problem Summary
The OpenClaw Installer was failing because:
1. System Node.js v22.12.0 had broken npm (missing modules)
2. When npm failed, it would download Node.js v22.16.0
3. The wrapper was created but Node.js couldn't find the modules because NODE_PATH wasn't set

### Solution
**Set NODE_PATH environment variable in the wrapper** to tell Node.js where to find the modules.

### Implementation
```python
# In _create_wrapper() method:
node_bin = str(self.node_bins["node"])
node_dir = Path(node_bin).parent
node_modules = node_dir / "node_modules"

if sys.platform == "win32":
    wrapper_path = self.bin_dir / "openclaw.cmd"
    with open(wrapper_path, "w") as f:
        f.write(f'@echo off\nset "NODE_PATH={node_modules}"\n"{node_bin}" "{openclaw_path}" %*')
else:
    wrapper_path = self.bin_dir / "openclaw"
    with open(wrapper_path, "w") as f:
        f.write(f'#!/bin/sh\nexport NODE_PATH="{node_modules}"\nexec "{node_bin}" "{openclaw_path}" "$@"')
```
