Getting Started with OpenCode for Local AI Coding Agent Setup

OpenCode Local Setup Guide

ByteShape has published a getting started guide for using OpenCode as a fully local AI coding agent. OpenCode is a terminal-based coding agent that can write, edit, and run code using local or remote models.

Setup Process

The guide covers setup across multiple platforms:

• Mac
• Linux
• Windows (using WSL2)

Model Integration Options

The tutorial shows how to run models locally with three different tools:

• LM Studio (CLI)
• llama.cpp
• Ollama

The guide specifically mentions using ByteShape's optimized models, though it notes you can use other models as well.

Configuration Steps

The workflow includes:

• Exposing an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint
• Configuring OpenCode to work as a coding agent

The goal is to make the full workflow approachable for those new to this space, focusing on making the setup fully local and practical.
