Trae and Qwen Code are among the solid representatives of China's domestic AI programming tools
I'm documenting the installation and usage process of Qwen Code to help beginners quickly get started with this AI programming tool
Basic Concepts
- Qwen Code is similar to Claude Code CLI, operating through a black command line window where you chat with AI to achieve AI-assisted programming
- Qwen Code requires Node.js, version v20.0 or above is recommended
Installing Qwen Code CLI
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latest
Getting Started with Qwen Code
In the command line terminal, navigate to your project folder, type 'qwen' and press Enter Enter your email and password to log in, or register if you don't have an account After logging in Start AI conversation Type: What is this project about? Tell me the core features and tech stack
That's it - you've started AI programming.
You can continue typing and ask for a hello world program
AI-driven coding assistance is now up and running.
If you can type, you can code - we've entered the era of programming for everyone.
Currently, Alibaba's Qwen Code CLI is almost free to use.
It's quite handy for quickly asking about project details or program execution flows.
