Two commands and a browser tab.

1. Install

Pick your platform. The copy button grabs the active command.

The installer downloads the latest binary to ~/.prokopai/bin/prokop (on Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.prokopai\bin\prokop.exe) and adds it to your PATH.

2. Set up and open

prokop init does the whole first run: creates the standard directories under ~/.prokopai/, sets up the SQLite database, installs the bundled preconfigs, starts the daemon on port 8742, and opens the client in your browser. The coding tools agents need are built into the binary. Nothing else to install.

3. Connect a model

In the client that just opened, go to Configuration. Use Credentials to paste an API key, or OAuth to sign in with a subscription. The model list fills in, pick one per session whenever you start chatting.

• API key: OpenAI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, MiniMax, Zhipu, Zhipu Coding Plan
• Subscription: Codex (ChatGPT)
• Gateway: OpenRouter reaches many more models, including Anthropic and Google families

You never need to touch a .env file for this flow. API keys can also live there alongside server settings such as the auth token or TLS described in the docs.

4. Start a session

1. Create a workspace by selecting a project directory, or spin up a virtual one.
2. Pick a model and a preconfig if you want one.
3. Start chatting. The agent can read, edit, search, and run commands right away.

Everyday commands

The daemon keeps running when you close the terminal or the browser tab. Open the same workspace again from any device on your network.
