Open Interpreter

Open Interpreter is a general code-execution host that runs Python, shell, and JavaScript on your machine. It runs as a process in its own Daintree terminal panel with full PTY emulation, like every other built-in agent.

Install & Authenticate

Open Interpreter is a general code-execution host that runs Python, shell, and JavaScript on your machine.

pipx install open-interpreter
# or
uv tool install open-interpreter
# or
pip install open-interpreter

Requires Python 3.10 or newer. Authentication reads from OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or GOOGLE_API_KEY, or from a profile config at ~/.config/open-interpreter/profiles/default.yaml (Linux), ~/Library/Application Support/open-interpreter/profiles/default.yaml (macOS), or the equivalent AppData path on Windows.

Resuming Sessions

Open Interpreter uses rolling history rather than a session ID, so resume picks up where the previous conversation left off without a specific session to target. Exit with Ctrl+D. For the resume mechanics across all agents, see Session Resume.

Tip
If interpreter isn't detected after install, confirm it's on your PATH (which interpreter on macOS/Linux, where interpreter on Windows), then restart Daintree. See Agent Availability for the five detection states.
