Getting Started

Learn how to install and set up MyCoder for your development environment.=

Prerequisites

# Install globally
npm install -g mycoder

# Or use with npx
npx mycoder

MyCoder works on all major operating systems. Select your platform for specific setup instructions:

Before using MyCoder with a specific provider, you need to provide the appropriate API key:

Set an environment variable:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
# or
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

Create a .env file in your working directory with the appropriate key:
```
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-api-key
```

You can obtain API keys from the respective provider websites.

MyCoder supports multiple AI providers:

Provider	Environment Variable	Models
Anthropic	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	claude-3-opus, claude-3-sonnet, etc.
OpenAI	`OPENAI_API_KEY`	gpt-4o, gpt-4-turbo, etc.
Ollama	N/A (local)	Models with tool calling support

You can specify which provider and model to use with the --provider and --model options:

mycoder --provider openai --model gpt-4o "Your prompt here"

Or set them as defaults in your configuration file:

// mycoder.config.js
export default {
  provider: 'openai',
  model: 'gpt-4o',
};
