  • A git repository for your project

Steps

  1. Run python -m pip install aider-install
  2. Run aider-install
  3. Change directory into your codebase with cd /to/your/project
  4. Start Aider with a model flag, for example aider --model deepseek with your key passed via --api-key
  5. Ask for a change and review the git commit Aider makes

Prompt for your agent

Help me set up Aider-AI/aider: run `python -m pip install aider-install` and `aider-install`, then walk me through starting it in <my project> with my chosen model.

Caveat. Aider edits and commits your files, so start from a clean git state.
