Installation

Qoderian is desktop-only (macOS, Linux, Windows) and needs Obsidian v1.7.2+ plus a signed-in Qoder CLI.

1. Install and sign in to Qoder CLI​

Install with the official script (recommended):

macOS / Linux

curl -fsSL https://qoder.com/install | bash

Windows — PowerShell (Windows Terminal recommended)

irm https://qoder.com/install.ps1 | iex

Or through npm (requires Node.js ≥ 20):

npm install -g @qoder-ai/qodercli

The installer puts qodercli on your PATH; Windows on arm64 is not supported. Then sign in from a terminal:

qodercli login

Sign-in is managed entirely by your local CLI; Qoderian never asks for an API key.

2. Install the plugin​

  1. Open Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → Browse
  2. Search for "Qoderian" and click Install
  3. Enable the plugin

From GitHub Release​

  1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release
  2. Create a folder called qoderian in your vault's plugins folder: 
    /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins/qoderian/
  3. Copy the downloaded files into that folder
  4. Enable the plugin in Obsidian: Settings → Community plugins → turn off Restricted mode → enable "Qoderian"

From source​

  1. Clone the repository into your vault's plugins folder: 
    cd /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins
    git clone https://github.com/QoderAI/qoderian.git qoderian
    cd qoderian
  2. Install dependencies and build: 
    npm ci
    npm run build
    This writes main.js and styles.css next to manifest.json, which is where Obsidian loads them from.
  3. Enable the plugin in Obsidian

3. Start using​

Open the chat sidebar from the ribbon icon or the command palette (Open Qoderian). Type a message and press Enter; qodercli streams its response back into the panel and works on your vault files just like the terminal CLI.
