What is best practice to use openhands with windows --- asking for a friend 🙂
c
We recommend WSL, for Windows
Also, your log shows CodeAct, please note that it’s a very old version of the CLI then. I posted a link to the new CLI in your thread above, otherwise it’s a very outdated version
f
thank you sir much appreciated 🙂
currently on windows and having heaps of issues integrating in zed the editor - { "theme": "One Dark", "agent_servers": { "your_agent": { "type": "custom", "command": "path_to_executable", "args": [], "env": {} }, "OpenHands": { "type": "custom", "command": "wsl", "args": [ "bash", "-c", "export LLM_API_KEY='sk-or-v1-XXXXX' && export LLM_BASE_URL='https://openrouter.ai/api/v1' && export LLM_MODEL='openai/gpt-4o' && export LLM_CUSTOM_LLM_PROVIDER='openai' && ~/dev/openhands-v1/dist/openhands acp" ], "env": {} } } }

Yeah, we recommend WSL for now, but cc @elegant-branch-54423 to note the additional interest in running OpenHands on Windows native.

@limited-student-10747 and @calm-artist-7206 are we using this ticket to track Windows support? https://github.com/OpenHands/software-agent-sdk/issues/1210
l
Yeah, I guess that’s the best one. BTW I’m going to try to get a Windows machine to dogfood more
f

And sorry, what happens if you try to Add Agent, on the top right, in the External Agents section?
f
ah it just says that it cant connect
i will post most screen shots
i moved to neovim which is working
is there any advantage to using zed
c
No, it's just a matter of personal preference 😅

i will try and reproduce the error for completeness
what is the cleanest way to try and change and test this
btw i also have this open -
which i think looks pretty neat btw
c
A large part of the API key is visible in the screenshot with Zed, you may want to revoke that key and create another

Although it gives auth error strangely

bit strange hey
c
So I think with the CLI, you could type 
/settings
to change llm settings

f
let me try
does this change it globally
c
yes
✅ 1
f
ah so if i change in the cli
it will create a global configuration (?)
under wsl
c
it's a settings file, 
~/.openhands/agent_settings.json
, so in your home directory in WSL
f
ah rodger that
let me try
another qq how do i get openhands to focus on a single folder for it generation under the cli
c
maybe, tell it?

hey Andrew, start it at the top of the message. a thing I do often: cd my_repo run openhands tell openhands "okay we want to work on my_repo/my_dir, we want to accomplish X, Y, Z please check W for reference. Do not commit changes"

another qq - if i want to use open hands as a quasi chat - is there a best practice to do this
@millions-crayon-32880 - do you check the changes before you commit - Do not commit changes" - is this your workflow??
@calm-artist-7206 can you assign a dev folder in the config so it stays focused

Just talk to the agent! ❤️ I do too, I have a pinned tab in the terminal where I just talk to OpenHands agent - it's like talk to the computer to ask it things
can you assign a dev folder in the config so it stays focused
Do you mean like this? https://github.com/OpenHands/software-agent-sdk/issues/240

@future-architect-14294 depends on the change I'm asking OpenHands to do. When I want to be careful of which files will be changed (like the case you are asking) I like to double check with git diff. Other times, I prefer to ask it to commit and push often so I can review commits independently.
