How to Install Command Code AI Agent on Ubuntu Linux

Command Code is a frontier AI coding agent that lives in your terminal. It builds features, fixes bugs, writes tests, and continuously learns your coding style through its taste-1 system. Ubuntu and other Linux systems are fully supported, making setup straightforward.

Quick Installation Steps

1. Prerequisites
   Ensure Node.js is installed on your Ubuntu system.

2. Install globally
   Open a terminal and run:

   npm i -g command-code@latest
   

   (You can also use yarn or pnpm.)

1. Verify the install

   cmd --version
   

   or

   command-code --version
   

2. Log in
   Run cmd login. This opens a browser for authorization (or lets you paste an API key). Once authorized, credentials are stored locally.

3. Start coding
   Navigate to a project folder and launch:

   cmd
   

   Trust the folder when prompted. You’re now in an interactive session with slash commands for models, configuration, context, design mode, and more.

What You Can Do Right Away

Switch between available models (including strong open-weight options like Kimi, MiniMax, GLM, Qwen, and DeepSeek on supported plans). Ask it to create scripts, handle notifications, or build small tools — it can generate working code quickly while learning your preferences.

In the demo, a simple Python notification script for money-management reminders was created and tested successfully with minimal cost.

Why Use It on Ubuntu?

• Clean CLI experience with rich slash-command support
• Continuous learning of your coding taste
• Access to multiple frontier and open models
• Easy integration into existing Linux workflows

Command Code turns your Ubuntu terminal into a powerful, adaptive coding partner. Watch the full tutorial for the complete walkthrough, model selection tips, and a live coding example!
