Originally created by @einarpersson on GitHub (Oct 11, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @rekram1-node on GitHub.

The README says

Installation Directory

The install script respects the following priority order for the installation path:

    $OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR - Custom installation directory
    $XDG_BIN_DIR - XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path
    $HOME/bin - Standard user binary directory (if exists or can be created)
    $HOME/.opencode/bin - Default fallback

But when I run

❯ XDG_BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
Downloading opencode version: 0.14.7 ...

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #1124: This exact feature was requested and implemented - XDG_BIN_DIR support was added to respect the installation directory priority order (OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR → XDG_BIN_DIR → HOME/bin → HOME/.opencode/bin fallback)

The fact that your XDG_BIN_DIR setting is being ignored suggests this might be a regression or the implementation may not be working as expected. Feel free to ignore if #1124 doesn't address your specific case.

I think if you do that the env var isnt being passed to the script invocation that only passes it to curl which would have no effect

Maybe a sidenote, but is $XDG_BIN_DIR from the spec even? can't find much info about it online when searching. I have seen $XDG_BIN_HOME also but not sure if that is official either? I was also a bit surprised that $HOME/bin is a default but not $HOME/.local/bin, but I'm not an expert in these matters.

User-specific executable files may be stored in $HOME/.local/bin. Distributions should ensure this directory shows up in the UNIX $PATH environment variable, at an appropriate place.

The installer script doesn't appear to refer to the OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR env var anywhere at the moment, though it does unconditionally set INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.opencode/bin: https://github.com/sst/opencode/blob/6995dab1dcef179d5b38cd114f148da9e8617ade/install#L44
