aider-install

A streamlined installer for the aider AI coding assistant.

Quickly install aider

python -m pip install aider-install
aider-install

Features

  • Sets up aider and its dependencies in an isolated environment
  • Automatically installs Python 3.12 if not present
  • Uses uv for fast, reliable Python package management
  • Zero configuration needed
  • Only 2 packages are installed in the original python environment: uv and aider-install.
No other dependencies pollute your original python environment.

Requirements

  • macOS, Linux, or Windows
  • Python 3.8+ (Python 3.12 will be installed if needed)

How it works

  • Running python -m pip install aider-install installs:
  • The very minimal aider-install package, which provides the aider-install command.
  • The uv python package as its only dependency.
  • Running aider-install does this:
uv tool install --python python3.12 aider-chat
uv tool update-shell
