Download directly from the [releases page](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/releases) or [opencode.ai/download](https://opencode.ai/download). | Platform | Download | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------- | | macOS (Apple Silicon) | `opencode-desktop-darwin-aarch64.dmg` | | macOS (Intel) | `opencode-desktop-darwin-x64.dmg` | | Windows | `opencode-desktop-windows-x64.exe` | | Linux | `.deb`, `.rpm`, or AppImage | ```bash # macOS (Homebrew) brew install --cask opencode-desktop # Windows (Scoop) scoop bucket add extras; scoop install extras/opencode-desktop ``` #### Installation Directory The install script respects the following priority order for the installation path: 1. `$OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR` - Custom installation directory 2. `$XDG_BIN_DIR` - XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path 3. `$HOME/bin` - Standard user binary directory (if exists or can be created) 4. `$HOME/.opencode/bin` - Default fallback ```bash # Examples OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash XDG_BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash ``` ### Agents OpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between with the `Tab` key. - **build** - Default, full access agent for development work - **plan** - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration - Denies file edits by default - Asks permission before running bash commands - Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes Also, included is a **general** subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks. This is used internally and can be invoked using `@general` in messages.

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 we recommend the models we provide through [OpenCode Zen](https://opencode.ai/zen); OpenCode can be used with Claude, 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. - Out of the box LSP support - A focus on TUI. OpenCode is built by neovim users and the creators of [terminal.shop](https://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. --- **Join our community** [Discord](https://discord.gg/opencode) | [X.com](https://x.com/opencode)
