How to install an AI coding agent (Windows)
Installing a modern AI coding agent takes about two minutes. This guide uses FreeCoder — a free, unlimited agent — as the example, but the general steps (install, add to PATH, launch, open a project) apply broadly.
1. Run the install command
On Windows, open PowerShell and paste the command below. It downloads the agent, verifies it, adds it to your PATH, and sets up auto-updates.
2. Launch and open a project
Open a new terminal, run freecoder, and a clean workspace opens in your browser. Start it inside your project folder so it can read your code. Full details in getting started.
3. Give it a task
Describe what you want in plain language and review the changes it proposes. New to agents? Read what an AI coding agent is and whether it's safe.
