Tip

Remove versions older than 0.1.x before installing.

OpenCode is also available as a desktop application. 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-mac-arm64.dmg` |
| macOS (Intel) | `opencode-desktop-mac-x64.dmg` |
| Windows | `opencode-desktop-windows-x64.exe` |
| Linux | `.deb` , `.rpm` , or `.AppImage` |

```
# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install --cask opencode-desktop
# Windows (Scoop)
scoop bucket add extras; scoop install extras/opencode-desktop
```

The install script respects the following priority order for the installation path:

`$OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR`

- Custom installation directory`$XDG_BIN_DIR`

- XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path`$HOME/bin`

- Standard user binary directory (if it exists or can be created)`$HOME/.opencode/bin`

- Default fallback

```
# 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
```

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.
