Setup ```sh # Install brew install 'anomalyco/tap/opencode' # or 'opencode' docker run -it --rm 'ghcr.io/anomalyco/opencode' mise use -g 'opencode' nix run 'nixpkgs#opencode' npm i -g 'opencode-ai@latest' pacman -S 'opencode' paru -S 'opencode-bin' # Desktop app brew install --cask 'opencode-desktop' ``` Configure OpenCode using `opencode.json` (or `.jsonc`) configuration files.
Configuration files are merged, not replaced. Settings from more specific ones override those of the same name in less specific ones. | Scope | Location | Summary | | ------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Remote | `.well-known/opencode` | organizational defaults | | Global | `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json` | user preferences | | Custom | `OPENCODE_CONFIG` environment variable | custom overrides | | Project | `opencode.json` in the project's directory | project-specific settings | | Agent | `.opencode` directories | agents, commands, plugins | | Inline | `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` environment variables | runtime overrides | ```json { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "provider": { "ollama": { "npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible", "name": "Ollama (local)", "options": { "baseURL": "http://localhost:11434/v1" }, "models": { "llama2": { "name": "Llama 2" } } } } } ```
Usage ```sh # Start in interactive mode. opencode opencode 'path/to/directory' # List available models. opencode models opencode models 'anthropic' # Update the cashed models list. opencode models --refresh # Run tasks in headless mode. opencode run "Explain how closures work in JavaScript" # Start a headless server. opencode serve # Attach to headless servers. opencode run --attach 'http://localhost:4096' "Explain async/await in JavaScript" # List existing agents. opencode agent list ```
