This is axeluhl's fork, with local terminal features layered onto an official OpenCode release. The fork's default branch, local-build, includes the setup maintained on local-setup.

On Linux x86-64, install Bash, Git, curl, and unzip, then run either command:

# curl
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axeluhl/opencode/local-setup/local/install.sh | bash

# wget (curl is still required by the installer)
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axeluhl/opencode/local-setup/local/install.sh | bash

The installer sets up the official OpenCode binary and the required Bun version, checks out the source, merges the feature branches, and compiles the local build. It installs launch/update scripts in ~/.local/bin, updates your ~/.bashrc, and enables a daily update timer when a systemd user session is available. Open a new Bash terminal afterward to use opencode.

The default checkout is /usr/local/src/opencode, whose parent directory must be writable for the initial clone. To use a location under your home directory instead:

mkdir -p "$HOME/src"
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axeluhl/opencode/local-setup/local/install.sh \
  | OPENCODE_SRC="$HOME/src/opencode" bash

See the local setup guide for the branch layout, rebuilding, updates, and refreshing installed scripts.

# YOLO
curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/v2/install | bash

# Package managers
npm i -g @opencode/cli@latest      # or bun/pnpm/yarn
brew install anomalyco/tap/opencode-v2 # macOS and Linux (recommended, always up to date)
brew install opencode              # macOS and Linux (official brew formula, updated less)
sudo pacman -S opencode            # Arch Linux (Stable)
paru -S opencode-beta              # Arch Linux (Latest from AUR)
mise use -g opencode               # Any OS
nix run github:anomalyco/opencode  # Nix

OpenCode is also available as a desktop application. Download it from opencode.ai/download.

# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install --cask opencode-desktop

The install script installs OpenCode to $HOME/.opencode/bin.

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.
