--- title: Introduction description: A new way to use computers --- # thumbnail **Open Interpreter** lets language models run code. You can chat with Open Interpreter through a ChatGPT-like interface in your terminal by running `interpreter` after installing. This provides a natural-language interface to your computer's general-purpose capabilities: - Create and edit photos, videos, PDFs, etc. - Control a Chrome browser to perform research - Plot, clean, and analyze large datasets - ...etc.
You can also build Open Interpreter into your applications with [our new Python package.](/usage/python/arguments) ---

Quick start

If you already use Python, you can install Open Interpreter via `pip`: ```bash pip install open-interpreter ``` ```bash interpreter ``` We've also developed [one-line installers](setup) that install Python and set up Open Interpreter.
