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

  • #3097: Wrong installation path - User reported that XDG_BIN_DIR environment variable is being ignored, same as this issue
  • #1124: Feature Request: Respect OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR, XDG_BIN_DIR, $HOME/bin, and Fallback for Installation Path - This is the original feature request that documented the expected behavior
  • #3127: Cannot upgrade "seems to be managed by a package manager" - Related issue caused by the installation script not respecting custom install directories

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

Put this where INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/.opencode/bin currently is

`# Choose install dir (priority: OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR → XDG_BIN_DIR → $HOME/bin → $HOME/.opencode/bin)
choose_install_dir() {

1) explicit override

if -n "${OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR:-}" ; then
echo "$OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR"
return
fi

2) XDG override

if -n "${XDG_BIN_DIR:-}" ; then
echo "$XDG_BIN_DIR"
return
fi

3) standard ~/bin if it exists OR can be created

if -n "${HOME:-}" ; then
if -d "$HOME/bin" || mkdir -p "$HOME/bin" 2>/dev/null; then
echo "$HOME/bin"
return
fi
fi

4) fallback

echo "$HOME/.opencode/bin"
}

INSTALL_DIR="$(choose_install_dir)"
mkdir -p "$INSTALL_DIR"
`

If you are using Ubuntu test it with this

chmod +x install.sh

OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.local/bin" ./install.sh
command -v opencode
ls -l "$HOME/.local/bin/opencode"

A fix that worked for me while this is still broken:

  • Download install script: 
    curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install > ~/install-opencode.sh
  • Open ~/install-opencode.sh and change the following line: 
    # remove this line
INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.opencode/bin"
# replace with
INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/.opencode/bin" # Change this to change the install path
  • Run the install script: 
    bash ~/install-opencode.sh
