Summary

I have tried installing using terminal and get the following error
! npm install failed for openclaw@latest
Command: env SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1 npm --loglevel error --silent --no-fund --no-audit install -g openclaw@latest
Installer log: /var/folders/jn/dcyp5cgj1g77mydd0379vflw0000gn/T/tmp.cQMjcA5JvK
! npm install failed; showing last log lines
! npm install failed; retrying
! npm install failed for openclaw@latest
Command: env SHARP_IGNORE_GLOBAL_LIBVIPS=1 npm --loglevel error --silent --no-fund --no-audit install -g openclaw@latest
Installer log: /var/folders/jn/dcyp5cgj1g77mydd0379vflw0000gn/T/tmp.gRbemjvX6x
! npm install failed; showing last log lines
