## Quick Introduction
|
|
|
|
[Continue](https://continue.dev/docs/intro) is an open-source autopilot for VS Code and JetBrains—the easiest way to code with any LLM.
|
|
|
|
In this guide, we will show you how to integrate Continue with Jan and VS Code, enhancing your coding experience with the power of the local AI language model.
|
|
|
|
## Steps to Integrate Continue with Jan and VS Code
|
|
|
|
### 1. Install Continue for VS Code
|
|
|
|
To get started with Continue in VS Code, please follow this [guide to install Continue for VS Code](https://continue.dev/docs/quickstart).
|
|
|
|
### 2. Enable Jan API Server
|
|
|
|
To configure the Continue to use Jan's Local Server, you need to enable Jan API Server with your preferred model, please follow this [guide to enable Jan API Server](/guides/using-server/start-server).
|
|
|
|
### 3. Configure Continue to Use Jan's Local Server
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the `~/.continue` directory.
|
|
|
|
<Tabs groupId="operating-systems">
|
|
<TabItem value="mac" label="macOS">
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd ~/.continue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="win" label="Windows">
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
C:/Users/<your_user_name>/.continue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="linux" label="Linux">
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd ~/.continue
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
</Tabs>
|
|
|
|
Edit the `config.json` file and include the following configuration.
|
|
|
|
```json title="~/.continue/config.json"
|
|
{
|
|
"models": [
|
|
{
|
|
// highlight-next-line
|
|
"title": "Jan",
|
|
"provider": "openai",
|
|
// highlight-start
|
|
"model": "mistral-ins-7b-q4",
|
|
"apiKey": "EMPTY",
|
|
"apiBase": "http://localhost:1337/v1"
|
|
// highlight-end
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Ensure that the `provider` is `openai`.
|
|
- Ensure that the `model` is the ID of the running model. You can check for the respective ID in System Monitor.
|
|
- Ensure that the `apiBase` is `http://localhost:1337/v1`.
|
|
- Ensure that the `apiKey` is `EMPTY`.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Double Check the Model is Running
|
|
|
|
Open up the `System Monitor` to check that your model is currently running.
|
|
|
|
If there are not active models, go to `Settings` > `My Models`. Click on the **three dots (⋮)** and **start model**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 5. Use Continue in VS Code
|
|
|
|
#### Asking questions about the code
|
|
|
|
- Highlight a code snippet and press `Command + M` to open the Continue Extension in VSCode.
|
|
- Select Jan at the bottom and ask a question about the code, for example, `Explain this code`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Editing the code directly
|
|
|
|
- Highlight a code snippet and press `Command + Shift + L` and input your edit request, for example, `Write comments for this code`.
