# aider-install
A streamlined installer for the [aider AI coding assistant](https://aider.chat).
## Quickly install aider
```bash
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](https://docs.astral.sh/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
1. 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.
2. Running `aider-install` does this:
```bash
uv tool install --python python3.12 aider-chat
uv tool update-shell
```
