- Node.js 24 or newer
- Optional: at least one supported Provider CLI for agent sessions
Coder Studio can still open files and terminals without an AI CLI installed.

After Coder Studio opens, continue with First Agent Run to start a recommended first-run provider, inspect output, and review your first Git diff.
- On the welcome screen, click Open Workspace.
- Select your project folder.
- Wait for the file tree, Git panel, and terminal area to load.
- Open the Agent panel.
- Choose a detected provider. For a first trial, Claude or Codex is the recommended path.
- Create a session.
- Type a task into the session terminal.
If the provider is missing, install the matching CLI and try again.
