Opencode Setup

Opencode is an AI-powered CLI tool for software engineering tasks, running locally via Ollama.

For this setup we will be on your preferred development system.

Installation

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install.sh | sh

Verify:

opencode --version

Configuration

Create a configuration file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode

Edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

Here you want to ensure the model keys match the names of the models in Ollama ... the "name" key within is an alias showed within Opencode.
