AI coding agent, built for the terminal.
# YOLO
curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
# Package managers
npm i -g opencode-ai@latest # or bun/pnpm/yarn
brew install sst/tap/opencode # macOS
paru -S opencode-bin # Arch Linux
Note: Remove versions older than 0.1.x before installing
For more info on how to configure opencode head over to our docs.
To run opencode locally you need.
- Bun
- Golang 1.24.x
And run.
$ bun install
$ bun run packages/opencode/src/index.ts
OpenRouter is not in the Models.dev database yet, but you can configure it manually.
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"provider": {
"openrouter": {
"npm": "@openrouter/ai-sdk-provider",
"name": "OpenRouter",
"options": {},
"models": {
"anthropic/claude-3.5-sonnet": {
"name": "Claude 3.5 Sonnet"
}
}
}
}
}
And then to configure an api key you can do opencode auth login
and select "Other -> 'openrouter'"
It's very similar to Claude Code in terms of capability. Here are the key differences:
- 100% open source
- Not coupled to any provider. Although Anthropic is recommended, opencode can be used with OpenAI, Google or even local models. As models evolve the gaps between them will close and pricing will drop so being provider agnostic is important.
- A focus on TUI. opencode is built by neovim users and the creators of terminal.shop; we are going to push the limits of what's possible in the terminal.
- A client/server architecture. This for example can allow opencode to run on your computer, while you can drive it remotely from a mobile app. Meaning that the TUI frontend is just one of the possible clients.
There are some minor problems blocking opencode from working on windows. We are working on on them now. You'll need to use WSL for now.
The other confusingly named repo has no relation to this one. You can read the story behind it here.
