# Installing Packages with Homebrew on Your OpenClaw VPS

Homebrew is a powerful package manager that makes it easy to install and manage software on your OpenClaw VPS. This guide shows you two ways to install packages: directly via SSH or simply by asking your AI agent.

### What Is Homebrew?

Homebrew (often called "brew") is a package manager for macOS and Linux. On your OpenClaw VPS, it is pre-installed and ready to use; no additional setup required. It allows you to install hundreds of command-line tools and applications with simple commands.

### Method 1: Ask Your AI Agent (Easiest)

Your OpenClaw agent has full access to the container and can run commands on your behalf. This is the simplest and fastest way to install packages.

1. Open a Chat with Your Agent
* Via **Telegram**: Open your bot chat.
* Via **WhatsApp**: Open your connected WhatsApp chat.
* Via **Web Dashboard**: Use the chat interface.

2. Simply ask your agent to install the package you need.

3. Your agent will process the request and confirm when the installation is complete.

|| 💡 **No SSH Needed:** You don't need to log into your VPS at all. Your AI agent handles everything for you.

### Method 2: Install via SSH (Manual)

2. Enter the OpenClaw container using command below

```
docker exec -it openclaw-openclaw-1 bash
```

3. Once inside the container, use the `brew install` command followed by the package name.

```
brew install <package-name>
```

4. When you're done, type `exit` to leave the container and return to your VPS shell.
