Installation

BIGGI is distributed as a VS Code extension. The extension includes its local agent runtime, so you do not need to install a separate command-line tool.

Install from the terminal

On macOS or Linux:

curl -fsSL https://biggi.dev/install.sh | sh

On Windows PowerShell:

irm https://biggi.dev/install.ps1 | iex

The installer detects your operating system and architecture, downloads the matching v0.1.0 VSIX from GitHub Releases, and installs it with the VS Code command-line interface.

Install from the VS Code Marketplace

1. Open VS Code
2. Open Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
3. Search for BIGGI
4. Select BIGGI: AI Coding Agent for Video Games
5. Click Install

You can also open the BIGGI Marketplace listing.

Install from Open VSX

VS Code-compatible editors such as VSCodium and Eclipse Theia can install BIGGI from the Open VSX Registry.

1. Open the editor's Extensions view
2. Search for BIGGI
3. Select BIGGI
4. Click Install
5. Reload the editor if prompted

Support can vary in editors that change or restrict standard VS Code extension APIs. VS Code is the supported editor.

Install a VSIX

Use a VSIX when you need an offline installation or a specific release:

1. Open the BIGGI releases page
2. Download the VSIX that matches your operating system and architecture
3. Open the Extensions view in VS Code
4. Open the ... menu
5. Select Install from VSIX...
6. Select the downloaded file

Troubleshooting

If the extension does not appear:

• Restart VS Code
• Confirm BIGGI is installed and enabled
• Open View → Output and inspect Extension Host
• Try disabling and re-enabling the extension

If the terminal installer cannot find VS Code, add the code command to PATH or install the downloaded VSIX from the Extensions view.
