#Installation Directory

The install script respects the following priority order for the installation path:

1. $OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR - Custom installation directory
2. $XDG_BIN_DIR - XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path
3. $HOME/bin - Standard user binary directory (if it exists or can be created)
4. $HOME/.opencode/bin - Default fallback

# Examples
OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
XDG_BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

#Agents

OpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between with the Tab key.

• build - Default, full-access agent for development work
• plan - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration
  • Denies file edits by default
  • Asks permission before running bash commands
  • Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes

Also included is a general subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks. This is used internally and can be invoked using @general in messages.
