From your terminal, forward

Your next coding
environment starts here.

Install CyxCode, connect a model, and open a project. Bring your own provider credentials or configure a local model.

01

Install

One command. Your terminal.

Run in a shell on macOS, Linux, or Windows with WSL / Git Bash.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/code3hr/cyxcode/HEAD/install | bash

Installs the latest release into ~/.opencode/bin. The compatibility path is intentional.

Using Windows PowerShell?

Download the Windows archive from GitHub Releases ↗, extract it, and run cyxcode.exe. Choose a build compatible with your machine.

02

Connect

Your model, connected.

Launch cyxcode in your project. Run /connect to add a provider, then /models to select a model.

Hosted providers

Use your own credentials for a supported provider. Model access and usage charges depend on that provider and your account.

Local models

Configure an OpenAI-compatible local endpoint, such as Ollama, to run a model on your own hardware.

What about free models and OpenCode Zen?

CyxCode's anonymous requests to OpenCode Zen have been rejected by the service. A fork of the client does not automatically receive access to its hosted free tier.

Connect Zen with your own API key to check your account's access. Authenticated access to Zen's free models has not been verified in CyxCode. Other providers may offer free models under their own limits; local models use your own hardware.

Provider setup and model testing ↗
03

Build

Give your project a starting point.

Run /cyxinit inside CyxCode to create the project state structure. Then start with a small, concrete task.

TRY YOUR FIRST PROMPT

Read this project's README and explain its structure. Don't modify any files yet.

Save conventions with /remember. Review captured fixes with /learn-patterns.

Keep it yours

Update or build from source.

Already using CyxCode?

Run /update inside CyxCode to check for a release. For older installs with a broken update URL, rerun the installer above.

Release notes and binaries ↗

Prefer to work from source?

Clone the repository, install dependencies with Bun, and start the development runtime.

git clone https://github.com/code3hr/cyxcode.git cd cyxcode bun install bun run dev
