OpenCode on Windows

Recommended: Use WSL

For the best experience on Windows, we recommend using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). It provides better performance and full compatibility with OpenCode’s features.

Installation Methods on Windows

Recommended:

winget install --id SST.opencode --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements

Refresh PATH afterwards (Machine + User). CLI id: SST.opencode. Desktop: SST.OpenCodeDesktop.

• Using Chocolatey

  Terminal window

  choco install opencode
  

• Using Scoop

  Terminal window

  scoop install opencode
  

• Using NPM

  Terminal window

  npm install -g opencode-ai
  

• Using Mise

  Terminal window

  mise use -g github:anomalyco/opencode
  

• Using Docker

  Terminal window

  docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/anomalyco/opencode
  

Support for installing OpenCode on Windows using Bun is currently in progress.

You can also grab the binary from the Releases.

Windows-Specific Considerations

While OpenCode can run on Windows, using WSL is recommended for:

• Better performance
• Full compatibility with all features
• Consistent Linux-like environment
• Access to Unix-based tools and utilities

If you choose to run OpenCode natively on Windows, be aware that some features may have limited functionality or require additional configuration.
