No Mac Mini, No VPS Hosting: Clawdbot/Openclaw VM Setup Guide (COPY ME)

Описание: I set up Clawdbot(Now Moltbot) on a free virtual machine in less than 30 minutes — no Mac Mini, no VPS, no credit card required.

If you're curious about Clawdbot but don't want to drop $599 on a Mac Mini or commit to monthly VPS hosting, this is the fastest way to test it completely free.

In this video, I walk through the exact setup:
→ Downloading VMWare Fusion
→ Installing Ubuntu Desktop
→ Installing Clawdbot(Moltbot) from GitHub
→ Testing it with real tasks
→ When to upgrade to VPS or dedicated hardware

What is Clawdbot?
Clawdbot is a locally-run AI agent created by Peter Steinberger. It has computer use capabilities — filesystem access, browser control, terminal commands, long-term memory. Basically, it's your own personal AI assistant running on your hardware.

People assume it needs expensive hardware. It doesn't. For basic testing, 2GB RAM is enough. You can technically run this on a Raspberry Pi.

When should you upgrade?
→ VM: Testing, occasional tasks, learning
→ VPS ($5-20/mo): 24/7 automation, scheduled tasks
→ Mac Mini ($599): Dedicated device, heavy workloads, best performance
→ Your own VMWare ESXI Host (More costly)

Test first. Upgrade when you're sure you'll use it.
