What is OpenCode
OpenCode is an open-source coding assistant. Its terminal version is similar to Claude Code, helping you write and run code using any AI model. It is available in three formats: a terminal-based interface (TUI), a desktop application, or an IDE extension.
Installing and Updating OpenCode
If you have not installed OpenCode or have not updated to the latest version, run the following command:
1 | npm i -g opencode-ai |
Then run opencode to open the TUI interface:
