Kilo Code for JetBrains: Free AI Coding Plugin

Installation

Kilo Code supports all JetBrains IDEs including IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, and more.

Prerequisites

Before installing the Kilo Code plugin, ensure you have:

1. JetBrains Toolbox (Recommended):

   • Download from https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/
   • Toolbox is required for authentication callbacks to work properly
   • Without Toolbox, you'll need to manually configure API keys

2. Node.js:

   • Download LTS version from https://nodejs.org/

Install directly

1. If you don't have a JetBrains IDE installed, download one from jetbrains.com
2. Then, you can click the button below to install Kilo Code directly from the JetBrains Marketplace:

Install from JetBrains Marketplace

1. Open your JetBrains IDE
2. Go to Settings/Preferences → Plugins
3. Click Marketplace tab
4. Search for "Kilo Code"
5. Click Install and restart your IDE

Try the v7 Early Access Program plugin

The v7 EAP plugin is available for users who want to try the newest JetBrains experience before it reaches the default Marketplace channel. It uses a JetBrains-native UI and is designed to work well with JetBrains remote development.

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:

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.
