Quickstart

Install
curl -fsSL https://openinterpreter.com/install | sh

See Install for Windows and other options.

Open a project
cd my-project
interpreter
Pick a provider

The first run walks you through provider setup. Choose ChatGPT, an API key, or a local model. You can change this any time with /model.

See Authentication for the full list.

Ask for something

Type a request in plain English:

> add a /health endpoint that returns the build sha

Open Interpreter reads the relevant files, plans the change, and shows you the diff before it edits anything.

Approve actions

When the agent wants to run a command that needs approval, it shows you the command and waits. Press y to approve, a to approve and not ask again for that command this session, or n (or Esc) to deny.

Want fewer prompts? Switch the approval mode with /permissions.

Resume later

When you come back tomorrow, run:

interpreter resume --last

The previous conversation, files, and context come right back.
