Manage packages ​

You can install additional packages in the OpenCode environment:

  • System packages: OS-level tools installed through pkg-install, a wrapper around the Alpine Linux package manager.
  • Language packages: Dependencies installed through native package managers such as pip and npm.

System packages ​

The OpenCode container runs as a non-root user, so sudo and apk are not available directly. All system package management goes through pkg-install.

Check pre-installed packages ​

OpenCode includes many common packages by default. To view the full list of installed packages, open the OpenCode terminal and enter the following command:

bash
pkg-install --list

List installed packages

To search for a specific package by keyword:

bash
pkg-install --search <keyword>

To view detailed information about a package:

bash
pkg-install --info <package>

Install and remove packages ​

To install a system package:

bash
pkg-install <package>

To install a specific version:

bash
pkg-install <package>=<version>

To remove an installed package:

bash
pkg-install --remove <package>

TIP

OpenCode runs on Alpine Linux. Package names may differ from those on Debian or Ubuntu. Use pkg-install --search to find the correct package name.

Install via AI chat ​

You can also install system packages through the OpenCode chat interface. Send a message such as "Install ffmpeg", and the system-admin skill runs the appropriate pkg-install command automatically.

If the skill does not activate, load it manually by entering the following command in the chat:

/skill load system-admin

Language packages ​

For language-specific dependencies, use the appropriate native package manager in the OpenCode terminal:

bash
pip install <package>          # Python
npm install <package>          # Node.js
go install <package>@latest    # Go
cargo install <package>        # Rust

Package persistence ​

Packages installed through pkg-install persist across container restarts within the same app version. During an app upgrade, OpenCode records your installed packages and reinstalls them automatically after the new version initializes.
