Description

When installing NemoClaw via SSH pipe (curl | bash over SSH), the installer fails with:

[ERROR] Interactive third-party software acceptance requires a TTY.

The quickstart guide does not mention NEMOCLAW_ACCEPT_THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE=1 needed for non-TTY installs. Users following the quickstart over SSH or in CI/CD pipelines will hit this error.

Environment

Device:        DGX Spark (spark-6087)
OS:            Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (Linux 6.11.0-1014-nvidia aarch64)
Architecture:  aarch64
Docker:        28.3.3
NemoClaw:      v0.0.52 (installed after workaround)
OpenClaw:      2026.5.22

Steps to Reproduce

  1. SSH to a remote machine: ssh user@remote-host
  2. Run: curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | bash
  3. Observe the TTY error

Expected Result

Quickstart doc should include a note for non-TTY installs:

curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | NEMOCLAW_ACCEPT_THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE=1 bash

Actual Result

[ERROR] Interactive third-party software acceptance requires a TTY.
