Installation
macOS and Linux:
bashcurl -fsSL https://openinterpreter.com/install | sh
Windows:
powershellirm https://openinterpreter.com/install.ps1 | iex
Then type i or interpreter in your terminal to start a session.
Harness Emulation
Open Interpreter is a fork of OpenAI's Codex, with a focus on emulating the agent harness that gets the best performance out of low-cost models.
Use /harness to switch the active harness:
text> /harness native claude-code claude-code-bare kimi-cli qwen-code deepseek-tui swe-agent minimal
Read more in the harness docs and model provider docs.
Computer Use
Open Interpreter ships with a QA skill that lets any model operate and test interfaces. It can drive web apps in a real browser with agent-browser, or operate and test native apps with trycua.
Features
- Runs commands inside native sandboxing on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
- Switches providers and models from the TUI with
/model. - Inspects or switches Rust-native model harnesses with
/harness. - Tests web and native apps through the built-in QA skill.
- Shares one local runtime across terminal tabs instead of starting a full agent runtime for every session.
- Keeps config and session state local under
~/.openinterpreter. - Supports
exec, MCP, skills, hooks, permissions, andAGENTS.md.
