Installation

AIDEN is designed to run close to your machine, your repos, and your tools.

Before you begin, make sure you have the basics needed for a local AI software engineering workflow.

Before you install

You should have:

• a supported desktop environment for AIDEN
• Git available on your machine
• at least one AI provider or model path you plan to use
• a project or repo you want to work on

What to expect after installation

Once AIDEN is installed, the product is designed to become your working surface for:

• project organization
• story planning
• AI-assisted execution
• Git-aware review and completion

This is why the best first experience is not just opening the app. It is creating one real project and finishing one real story.
