Getting started

For first-time users who want to get usable quickly.

After this page, you will have:

• anyCode installed
• setup completed
• one successful test command

Five-minute path

1. Install — use Install.
2. Run setup — choose model + channel (wechat / telegram / discord).
3. Verify — run one command and check output.

Requirements

• Prebuilt install: no Rust needed.
• Source build only: Rust + Cargo.
• For WeChat QR login: run setup on a machine that can open browser/GUI.

First run (setup)

If anycode is already in PATH:

anycode setup

Expected output: setup wizard starts and asks for model/channel choices.
Next step: complete setup, then run the Verify commands below.

If you are running directly from a local build output:

./target/release/anycode setup

Expected output: same setup wizard flow as anycode setup.
Next step: after success, prefer using anycode if PATH is configured.

You can also choose channel explicitly:

anycode setup --channel wechat
anycode setup --channel telegram
anycode setup --channel discord

Expected output: setup skips channel menu and enters the selected channel flow.

Verify

anycode run --agent general-purpose "Reply with OK only"
anycode

Expected output: first command prints OK; second command opens TUI.

In TUI you can try: /help, /tools, /exit.

If something fails

• anycode: command not found -> check PATH in Install
• setup cannot ask questions -> run in a real terminal (not CI/headless shell)
• WeChat QR cannot complete -> run anycode channel wechat on a GUI machine

UI language

Set language quickly:

export ANYCODE_LANG=zh
# or
export ANYCODE_LANG=en

Next

• Install
