# NVIDIA NemoClaw

> NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack that simplifies running OpenClaw always-on assistants more safely, with a single command.

NVIDIA NemoClaw is an open-source reference stack that simplifies running [OpenClaw](https://openclaw.ai) always-on assistants more safely.
NemoClaw provides onboarding, lifecycle management, and OpenClaw operations within OpenShell containers.
It installs the [NVIDIA OpenShell](https://github.com/NVIDIA/OpenShell) runtime, part of NVIDIA Agent Toolkit, setting up an environment designed for executing agents with additional security and inference routing capabilities.

## Get Started

Install NemoClaw and run your first sandboxed agent.

```shell
curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash
```

For more detailed guidance on getting started, refer to [Quickstart](/get-started/quickstart).
