Aider

If you run andai in docker, this step is not necessary.

If you plan to run andai locally, you will need to install aider.

Install it and make sure it is available in your PATH. No other configuration is necessary, as most of the aider configuration will be done via command line arguments.

# https://aider.chat/docs/install.html#install-with-uv
uv tool install --force --python python3.12 --with pip aider-chat@latest

If installed with uv, adier & aider-chat will be available on PATH by default.

To verify the installation, use following command:

andai

It should print the usage instructions with flags.
