+After install, run `openclaw plugins list` and confirm `memory-powermem` is listed. The plugin uses **default config** when none is set: `baseUrl: "http://localhost:8000"`, `autoCapture`, `autoRecall`, and `inferOnAdd` enabled — so you do not need to edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` for the typical setup (PowerMem on localhost:8000).

-Edit OpenClaw’s config (e.g. `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`). At the **root level**, add or merge the `plugins` section: set `plugins.slots.memory` and `plugins.entries["memory-powermem"]`, and set the PowerMem URL.
+If you use PowerMem at **http://localhost:8000** with the default options, skip this step. To **customize** (e.g. different URL, API key, or CLI mode), edit OpenClaw's config (e.g. `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`) and add or merge the `plugins` section.

+若 PowerMem 在 **http://localhost:8000** 且使用默认选项，可跳过本步。若要 **自定义**（如改 URL、API Key 或使用 CLI 模式），请编辑 OpenClaw 配置文件（如 `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`），增加或合并 `plugins` 段。
