Install Jetbrains

Kilo Code's current JetBrains plugin uses a native interface and supports JetBrains remote development without requiring Node.js.

Try the v7 Early Access Program plugin {% #jetbrains-early-access %}

The v7 EAP plugin is available for users who want to try the newest JetBrains experience before it reaches the default Marketplace channel. Follow the v7 roadmap and release milestone for planned work and release progress.

{% callout type="info" %} The v7 EAP plugin is compatible with JetBrains IDE builds 261 and later. EAP builds update frequently, so we recommend enabling automatic plugin updates in your JetBrains IDE from Settings/Preferences → System Settings → Updates → Update plugins automatically. Share feedback in the JetBrains channel on the Kilo Discord. {% /callout %}

To install the EAP build and receive updates:

1. Open IntelliJ IDEA or another JetBrains IDE
2. Go to Settings/Preferences → Plugins
3. Click the gear icon and choose Manage Plugin Repositories
4. Add this repository URL:

{% copyLine text="https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/list?channel=eap&pluginId=28350" /%}

5. Return to the Marketplace tab
6. Search for Kilo Code
7. Click Install or Update and restart your IDE if prompted

After the custom repository is added, JetBrains will offer EAP updates through the normal plugin update flow.
