Windows Support

[thdxr]

our windows support isn't really there - creating this one super issue to track all problems

[xmintec]

here is how it works for me

1. Install Chocolatey Open PowerShell as administrator. Run the following command to relax the execution policy so the installation script can run:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force

Now run the official Chocolatey installation command:

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

2. Install the missing tools with Chocolatey:

choco install unzip ripgrep fzf -y

3. Navigate to the folder containing your opencode.exe. Double-click and Opencode should run.

Ideally though I think it would be best if this was bundled into the exe but if not possible then just document this

I have done this:

choco install unzip ripgrep fzf -y

I updated to the latest version v0.1.189

I still get the "no text" probem , issue #460

You're right, you can't enter text. Unfortunately, I didn't test it any further than I left the welcome text from Opencode, which was fine for me because I had other things to do. It's the dependency on Bun that's a problem. I've now solved it for myself with Docker, but it's a bit of a hassle. Sooner or later, I'll install it on my Mac; it should work better there.

[davidanew]

For the "bun" problem:

● Here's the problematic macro import on line 5:

import { data } from "./models-macro" with { type: "macro" }

This is a Bun-specific macro import that executes the data() function at compile time to fetch model information from https://models.dev/api.json. The macro system is causing the crash on Windows.

To temporarily fix this, you can comment out that line:

// import { data } from "./models-macro" with { type: "macro" }

The macro is used to embed AI model data at build time, but the application should still work without it (though some model information might not be available).

This worked for me to get the opencode gui up. It still has the "no text" problem, but at least I can starting investigating it

[davidanew]

Setting "Use the legacy input encoding" in Poweshell settings -> Terminal emulation fixes the text problems

[davidanew]

I had a git hash related error when doing /init . This fixed it:

Update(packages/opencode/src/snapshot/index.ts) ⎿  Updated packages/opencode/src/snapshot/index.ts with 20 additions and 2 removals 46 log.info("commit") 47 48 // Extract commit hash from output like "[main abc1234] snapshot" 49 - const match = result.stdout.toString().match(/[.+ ([a-f0-9]+)]/) 50 - if (!match) throw new Error("Failed to extract commit hash") 49 + const output = result.stdout.toString() 50 + log.info("git commit output", { output, stderr: result.stderr.toString() }) 51 + 52 + const match = output.match(/[.+ ([a-f0-9]+)]/) 53 + if (!match) { 54 + // Fallback: get commit hash with git rev-parse 55 + try { 56 + const hashResult = await $git --git-dir ${git} rev-parse HEAD 57 + .quiet() 58 + .cwd(app.path.cwd) 59 + .nothrow() 60 + const hash = hashResult.stdout.toString().trim() 61 + if (hash && hash.length >= 7) { 62 + return hash.substring(0, 7) 63 + } 64 + } catch (e) { 65 + log.error("Failed to get commit hash with rev-parse", { error: e }) 66 + } 67 + throw new Error(Failed to extract commit hash from: ${output}) 68 + } 69 return match[1]

[strager]

"No text" issues might be related to num lock (see https://github.com/charmbracelet/x/issues/485). Can you try turning off num lock?

Did i miss any dependency installation process?

i dont really know when will windows have a fix,it haven't usable since the first release with a lot of render bug, i love opencode as because it is good while i was using wsl2 but want to use it on windows to sync with my workflow since claude code not supported .

(Dropped means added in gen z speak apparently)

Found this thread for Windows testers

Few problems I got (Windows Terminal via PowerShell):

• Scrolling up shows distorted views

• Multi-line paste is sending each line right away instead of letting me paste it as a block of text

See attached image to see how the issues look like

[ArmDaniel]

for everybody having issues with opencode on Windows, setting what @davidanew suggested related to legacy input encoding will solve the 'no text' issue. However, the scrolling will still be distorted. I solved it by opening opencode in WezTerm...so yeah, works for me that way

#967 feat: Replace unzip with PowerShell's built-in extraction for zip archives

[bramburn]

is this because we are using go tui? or why is this happening?

[CarlosGtrz]

What Claude Code team did was to run their commands using the MSYS2 Bash shell included in Git for Windows. That may be an easier start for opencode.

[ikx94]

Looking forward to OpenCode on Windows 🙏🏻

[bramburn]

I'm working on a new fork for windows only. Rebuilding it with proper installation files rather than bun build.

[QDaed]

atm i'm using bash on windows , seems it is working now

[wienans]

@thdxr since v0.3.9 the windows.zip file is detected as virus by windows defender v0.3.8 is working fine

[oenic]

How are any of you even installing it? The site says to use the binary from the releases, but I go to the latest release and there simply isn't anything downloadable for windows

Something happened with the latest release, but one previous has windows binary. https://github.com/sst/opencode/releases/tag/v0.3.10

[phob]

@ -Commands aren't really working. As soon as you type anything after @ you only get no matches found. /init isn't looking into subfolders

[wienans]

For me now the boot up of opencode on windows works. But out of what ever reason, i can not type anything in the message box. All Shortcuts work but the messagebox doesn't

[leporel]

The opencode fails to open the relative path ~

 lepa on  C:/
# opencode ~/opencode-playground
Error: Failed to change directory to C:\~\opencode-playground

this wotks -

opencode $env:USERPROFILE/opencode-playground

[TrueHOOHA]

where is ~/.local/share/opencode/ folder located in windows? I cant find it

[itsrainingmani]

I've made a Chocolatey package for opencode that I'm happy to add to the chocolatey community packages. I noticed that the latest release (v0.3.19) doesn't have a windows executable at all. Is there a reason for that?

[leporel]

it seems call tool but not executing on windows (using ollama)

I tried making powershell.exe as a soft link to bash.exe, but it didn't help, however the model wanted to execute the command in the WSL shell and somehow it worked.

But this is not the behavior I expect, why is Bun executing commands in WSL while opencode started in powershell

PS: I tested this code and it works, maybe this will be implemented?

    const proc = Bun.spawn({
      cmd: process.platform === "win32" 
      ? ["powershell.exe", "-Command", params.command]
      : ["bash", "-c", params.command],

https://github.com/sst/opencode/pull/1189

I made a PR with a fix for the bash tool call on Windows. I compiled a binary locally and am using it myself - now commands run natively in the Windows environment without relying on WSL.
