Installation guide

Qoder CN offers two ways to use it. You can download the ready-to-use Qoder CN IDE, or install the Qoder CN plugin directly in your existing development tools. After installation, log in to your account to get started.
To provide users with a high-quality product experience, we have fully upgraded Qoder CN IDE with enhanced context engineering and seamless agent integration, enabling comprehensive codebase understanding and easy handling of complex tasks. Meanwhile, product feature iterations will primarily focus on Qoder CN IDE and the Qoder CN JetBrains plugin. The update cadence for the VS Code extension will slow down. If you encounter issues or inconvenience while using the VS Code extension, we recommend switching to Qoder CN IDE, where we will provide more stable technical support.

Qoder CN IDE client

Qoder CN IDE fully integrates the capabilities of the intelligent coding assistant. It is easier to use out of the box, allowing you to enjoy an efficient and intelligent programming experience without installing any plugins.
  • Supported operating systems: Windows 10/11 (x64), macOS 11.0, Linux x64 (.deb/.rpm), or later versions.
  • Download URL: https://qoder.cn/download.
When downloading, Windows users need to choose the appropriate installer version based on their usage scenario:
VersionInstallation directoryPermission requirementsScope
User versionCurrent user directory (such as C:\Users\username\AppData\Local)No administrator privileges requiredApplies only to the current user
System versionSystem public directory (such as C:\Program Files)Administrator privileges requiredApplies to all users
The two versions are functionally identical (including Repo Wiki and other features). If you do not have an administrator password on your work computer, or if only you use the machine, we recommend the User version.
