Introduction
**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.
