I was having issues installing and runnig opencode but after some troubleshooting I was able to make it work. I wrote a quick guide on how I was able to fix it, hope this helps someone with the same issues.

I've been using OpenCode since it launched and figured I'd give one more extra deep dive piece back to the community before I go on a short hiatus with these technical guides.

It's pretty much a culmination of everything I've written thus far.

What it covers:

- Installation and first-run setup (5 minutes to get started)

- Provider options: Synthetic, OpenCode Zen, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT Plus, OpenRouter

- The Build/Plan mode workflow that's saved me from a lot of bad code

- Commands, skills, and agents (the extensibility trifecta)

- TypeScript plugins for things like auto-linting after every edit

- MCP server configuration

- Production workflows including a multi-agent code review setup

What I learned the hard way:

- The AGENTS.md file is more important than I initially thought

- Different models for different tasks actually matters for cost control

- Plan mode first, Build mode second catches misunderstandings early

Hope it helps someone who's been curious about OpenCode but wasn't sure where to start.
