# Install, launch and sign-in (`setup.install_signin`)

Feedback Bench, coding agents, built 2026-10-01, window 2026-08-31 to 2026-09-27. Web page: https://feedbackbench.com/#/criterion/setup.install_signin

Area: [Setting up and connecting](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.md)

**Definition.** Getting the agent installed, started and signed in on the user's platform: installers, updates on first run, login flows, browser redirects and switching accounts.

**Boundary.** Not this: see [Connecting own API keys, local models and custom endpoints](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.provider_byok_local.md) for connecting own keys or local models. Not this: see [Updates break working setups](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/rel.update_breakage.md) when a later update breaks a working setup.

Rated author-weeks, all agents: 1039. Complaint share: 80%.

## The brief

Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from 88 labelled posts and the numbers on this page. Interpretation, not measurement: every quote is verbatim and links to its post.

**Installs are quick; sign-in, account linking and platform gaps are not.**

TL;DR:

- Complaints outnumber praise for nearly every agent. The install step works, the account step breaks.
- Google Antigravity is the outlier, with users locked out by verification, missing proxy support and late Windows updates.
- Linux desktop builds and multi-account switching are the loudest requests, led by Cline and OpenAI Codex users.

In plain terms: Getting the agent onto your machine usually takes minutes. The trouble starts after that. Users hit verification loops, OAuth redirects that fail, desktop apps that hang on Windows, no Linux build, and logging out and back in to change accounts.

### How it breaks

- **Verification walls lock out paying users** ([Install, launch and sign-in](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.install_signin.md)). The worst reports come from users who paid and still cannot get past an account or eligibility check to reach the product.
  Users describe security re-verification that blocks access after a phone number change, with a refund refused. Others return after a few weeks away and get an error instead of a session. Kiro users report activation stalled between two teams, each blaming the other's rules. The common pattern is an account state the user cannot see or fix, with no clear path to resolution.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, @antigravity, 2026-09-02: “in the next episode of loosing your time and money with @antigravity : its behind the same oauth / verify its you as security section. i refreshed my phone number on account after paying, can do all but access antigravity. refund request refused.” [source](https://twitter.com/1962251495950450688/status/2095066143090249926)
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-26: “<strict_link> hello, i have been using anti gravity for a couple months now and i have google premium on my account (activated 18mo through jio). yesterday i wanted to use antigravity ide to mod gacha life for some reason it threw this error! context: i havent used antigravity ide in ages like 3 weeks now.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wqme6m/wtf_is_going_on/)
  - Complaint, Kiro, @kirodotdev, 2026-09-08: “what a joke! the aws team says they can’t activate kiro because of “protection measures,” while the kiro team says they can’t activate kiro because i have aws credits. seriously...!!! @kirodotdev” [source](https://twitter.com/1525584993829142528/status/2097368349969936484)
  - Complaint, Kiro, @kirodotdev, 2026-09-21: “@kirodotdev still not available to me even though i am a qualified customer. i don't understand how kiro works” [source](https://twitter.com/2048551282554585088/status/2102182077219410112)

- **OAuth succeeds, then the redirect fails** ([Install, launch and sign-in](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.install_signin.md)). Third-party account linking breaks on the return trip, leaving users in loops that support cannot clear.
  Cursor posts describe xAI OAuth completing and then Cursor failing after the redirect, for a week, with no human reply. Another user loops across browsers, devices and incognito, and cannot delete the old account because settings errors out. One user says choosing a sign-in option on first login permanently bound their account to a smaller plan. A Cline user on Windows suspects sign-in fails because no mainstream browser is installed.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-05: “@cursor_ai @bot @cursor_ai @bot ticket t-f19390: grok bot account linking has been broken for 1 week. xai oauth succeeds, but cursor fails after redirect. no human response or status update despite multiple follow-ups. please escalate this to the grok bot/accounts team.” [source](https://twitter.com/2096047734331777024/status/2096055223920087228)
  - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-24: “i stuck in this dead loop @grok @cursor_ai and cannot continue to link my account with x premium+, any help? it's frustrating, and i tried multiple times with different browser, mobile, desktop version and incognito , it's always the same ☹️ i know i have an existing cursor account but i cannot delete it due to this error page when i try the account setting page, then grok also refuses to let me link” [source](https://twitter.com/770282072715866115/status/2103086576675012782)
  - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-21: “complaint to @x, @xai and @elonmusk: @cursor_ai grok bot feels like a bait and switch. they invite you to try it. you see the potential and spend 12+ hours building bots that do real work. then the bots go silent, and nobody tells you why. why: at first sign-in, "connect with x" was the first option. no warning it was permanent. it locked my account to the lower x premium+ allowance, even though i pay @xai for supergrok. now my work is held hostage. want it running? pay extra on-demand. support is ai only, refuses a human, and says it can never be fixed on my business email. shady and unethical. @elonmusk,” [source](https://twitter.com/28867873/status/2102047066533122385)
  - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-17: “@cline i can't sign in (windows). not sure if this has to do with the fact that i don't have ms edge / chrome installed.. <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/128112501/status/2100719904198373807)

- **Linux and Windows wait their turn** ([Install, launch and sign-in](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.install_signin.md)). Platform coverage is the biggest request cluster, and users read Mac-first releases as being left out.
  Linux desktop support is the top ask on this page, driven mostly by Cline users who want the new desktop app and cannot run it. Conductor is Mac-only. Claude Code users ask why macOS always ships first, and Antigravity users ask the same about Windows. Codex gets credit in the other direction, with one user discovering its app now runs on Linux.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-26: “@cline would love to try cline, but there is no linux desktop version.” [source](https://twitter.com/1601711797/status/2103693469474844955)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-10: “@gabrielbuzziv @conductor_build i want to test the conductor, it's a shame it's only available for mac and not for linux.” [source](https://twitter.com/1403361589466701824/status/2098074455087993323)
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, @antigravity, 2026-09-16: “@antigravity why is windows always the last to get important updates like this?” [source](https://twitter.com/3297681537/status/2100250233305174276)
  - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-03: “@claudedevs why does everything comes to mac os first 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭” [source](https://twitter.com/1880793924924772352/status/2095335857347793241)

- **Desktop apps that hang on launch** ([Install, launch and sign-in](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.install_signin.md)). Clean installs still fail at first start on Windows, and users burn hours on paths, reinstalls and rebuilds.
  A Claude Code user on Windows reports paths and environment variables are fine, yet both CLI and desktop app hang at startup. An OpenCode user says the Windows desktop app would not launch at all until a rival agent diagnosed it. Codex users report rebuilding on Linux or reinstalling to get a feature to appear. Reinstall is the default fix users are told to try.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-04: “@claudedevs windows 10 64, claude code cli installation ok, env variables ok paths ok when i type in cmd or ps claude or claude --version it prints lines like progress bar after some times it hangs on startup same happen with desktop app it starts session then hangs on starting claude.” [source](https://twitter.com/1178635163498094593/status/2095896472889987257)
  - Complaint, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-06: “ibeen trying for ages to fix an issue with the @opencode desktop app, it just wouldn't launch on windows no matter what i did. i tried fixing it with codex, i tried glm, i tried claude, and nothing worked. you know who finally solved it for me? gemini 3.8 in @antigravity .......” [source](https://twitter.com/1316130989219995648/status/2096685979025179025)
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-05: “yes it does, had to rebuild my codex in linux for it to appear, in windows it appeared after update” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1w85qre/new_banked_reset_just_landed/p807bo2/)
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-23: “it actually did not end up doing it, it said just reinstall codex so that is what i am trying now :p” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1woaial/new_models_not_appearing/pblevzr/)

- **Switching accounts means logging out** ([Install, launch and sign-in](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.install_signin.md)). Multi-account use is unsupported or fragile, so users sync credential files by hand or build their own switchers.
  An OpenCode user who synced a login file across machines says a new version broke that and asks for import and export. Claude Code users report re-login every time they change remote machines. Antigravity users juggle several accounts by logging out and in, or by having the agent build a session-switching extension. Codex users ask for easy switching more than anyone else.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, OpenCode, @opencode, 2026-09-14: “@thdxr @jashandeep31 @opencode i understand, but i rely on this `auth.json` file to sync my login status across multiple machines, and opencode2 has caused a bit of a hassle here. i think a mechanism like `auth import`/`auth export` is definitely needed.” [source](https://twitter.com/2019221350880276480/status/2099461227709931980)
  - Complaint, Claude Code, @ClaudeDevs, 2026-09-17: “@bcherny @blaso96 @anthropicai @claudeai @claudedevs @trq212 for me it's whenever i connect to a remote session running on a different computer. successive sessions, but swapping remotes causes a re-login.” [source](https://twitter.com/202454689/status/2100405553352564984)
  - Praise, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-01: “i just asked flash to create a extension which can save my login sessions and i just switch between them. switch > close the app > open it again > switched / new account is being used 0 complications. just need to make sure which account is being used.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w4inc5/multiply_agy_accounts_in_parallel_for/p78qvjj/)
  - Complaint, Cursor, @cursor_ai, 2026-09-22: “@poteto @bot &lt;33 can you add fast account switching on desktop and mobile - or allow multiple account usage within same ui sidebars for @bot and @cursor_ai” [source](https://twitter.com/3092167103/status/2102521566194016564)

### Who stands out

- **Google Antigravity (weaker)**. The one agent rated worse than peers here, with complaints about install difficulty, account verification, proxy support and Windows lag.
  Users say most people cannot even install the CLI. Office users behind proxies report no proxy support. Paid users describe verification screens that block access. Windows users feel last in line for updates. Some posts push back, with smooth Ubuntu installs, regular updates and painless multi-account switching via logout, but praise is sparse next to the complaint volume.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, @antigravity, 2026-09-09: “@henryf1w @geminiapp is a chatbot, this is everyone's mistake... @antigravity is gemini for incredible devs, but most can't even install its cli. there is @googleaistudio which is easier, but it doesn't have as much power as @antigravity.” [source](https://twitter.com/1915843566300971008/status/2097722699501973645)
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-09: “i can not use in office due to proxy restrictions, antigravity does not have proxy support” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1waolu4/why_does_antigravity_have_so_few_users/p8nlwo2/)
  - Complaint, Google Antigravity, @antigravity, 2026-09-16: “@antigravity why is windows always the last to get important updates like this?” [source](https://twitter.com/3297681537/status/2100250233305174276)
  - Praise, Google Antigravity, r/google_antigravity, 2026-09-03: “ubuntu 24.04.4 lts and it is working fine. both gui and cli so far. quite straightforward” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1w67e1n/best_linux_distro_to_run_antigravity_ide/p7mf3sp/)

- **OpenAI Codex (mixed)**. The fastest install story on the page, undercut by outages that break login and heavy demand for account switching.
  Users repeatedly say setup takes minutes, with a browser sign-in tied to a ChatGPT account, and one praises the new Linux app. The complaint side is the largest by volume. Login breaks during outages, payment requires a credit card, and reinstalling is a common fix. Codex users drive the multi-account switching request more than any other agent.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-25: “it literally takes like 5 minutes to setup. insanely easy and super reliable.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wpj02u/notifications/pbvxf0t/)
  - Praise, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-01: “① introduction install with npm i -g @openai/codex and then codex login. just open the browser and authenticate with your chatgpt account. it really takes less than 5 minutes. ② codex exec you can execute it directly without dialogue like codex exec "write a test". it only returns the result, so it can be easily integrated into shell scripts. i have used this for standard refactoring and generating commit messages. ③ $imagegen when you type $imagegen during dialogue mode, you can generate images directly in the terminal. this is often sufficient for rough ogps or mock materials. compared to claude code, it is more persistent in dialogue, but the ease of "throwing it and leaving it" with exec is a win for codex. it's just right for running it casually while having dinner.” [source](https://twitter.com/1810807204410445828/status/2094761129486762221)
  - Praise, OpenAI Codex, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app, 2026-09-25: “due to not having my own macbook after leaving my job, i installed ubuntu on my gaming computer at home and used it for several months. linux has also improved, and now many software applications have started to support linux. including the codex app, which i just discovered a few days ago. <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/634310792/status/2103349531983356073)
  - Complaint, OpenAI Codex, r/codex, 2026-09-03: “same here, all is down it seems, even logging out and logging back in is broken and also audio-transcription in the app is broken as well.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1w69oob/anyone_else_unexpected_status_404_not_found/p7l7jah/)

- **Cline (mixed)**. The new native desktop app draws enthusiasm, but users report connection loops, missing Linux builds and no uninstall command.
  Fans praise a native interface over web wrappers and a setup that imports settings from other CLIs. The friction is concrete. Intel Mac users report a stuck connecting loop across builds and install sources. Windows sign-in fails for one user. Cline users account for most of the Linux desktop requests on this page.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-19: “@cline @opencode im running your latest build on my intel macbook pro but it’s still stuck on connecting loop. other users have shared the same issue. by the time you fix it, we won’t be able to benefit from the kimi offer.” [source](https://twitter.com/1472210170629525504/status/2101217380554715269)
  - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-18: “@cline this was what i did when shared the screenshot 😅 first installed through cline website, faced similar issue, then uninstalled and installed from your github v0.0.32 and problem still persists.” [source](https://twitter.com/1673435210/status/2101056791459008854)
  - Praise, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-17: “tried the new @cline ide with @gmi_cloud apis to update physical atlas. sick🔥 it imported al my seetings rom all the clis no need to set up from scratch. <strict_link> <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/802171224/status/2100730291136631006)
  - Complaint, Cline, @cline, 2026-09-19: “@cline @bovetheline @opencode opencode has a uninstall command. would be nice to have one in cline” [source](https://twitter.com/931976673339330561/status/2101380745218375903)

- **Devin (stronger)**. The most balanced praise-to-complaint mix here, on a small sample, with users welcoming a macOS host alongside Linux.
  Users report getting repos set up on Devin's cloud environments on the free plan and like the added macOS host. Complaints are minor, such as an unclear default password and a wish for consistent behaviour across Mac and Linux. Post counts are too low to separate Devin from peers with confidence.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-15: “@cognition @sandeepdshah just read the blog. very good addition. i’m a huge amp orbs user, having a macos host is a great addition to linux only. i’d like to try devin mac out!” [source](https://twitter.com/1413771/status/2099893923720360404)
  - Praise, Devin, @DevinAI, 2026-09-17: “@devinai i tried out devin cloud today. i was able to get my repos set up on environments they run on in devin vms. that was with the free plan and voice mode with $8 on my account from old windsurf days maybe? ran out of usage right before doing any code tasks, however.” [source](https://twitter.com/1824436432674623492/status/2100443134421279222)
  - Complaint, Devin, @cognition, 2026-09-15: “@cognition nevermind, password is just 'devin' but they could have done a better job at it! <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/1617493632025776131/status/2099944020785184931)
  - Complaint, Devin, @DevinAI, 2026-09-10: “@ryancarson @devinai a proper cross-platform agent harness. one codebase that behaves the same on a mac and a linux machine, including memory, not two forks that drift.” [source](https://twitter.com/2088554680263573504/status/2098151429802168445)

### Fine print

- Setup posts skew toward problems, so complaints dominate every agent, including ones users like overall.
- Most agents have too few posts to separate from peers, including Devin, Zed, Pi and Amp.
- The Linux desktop request is concentrated in Cline posts and reflects one new product launch.

## Top requests

What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 467 author-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by Claude Sonnet 5 reads every counted post and extracts what the author asks the agent or its vendor to add or change, with the criteria it maps to and a short normalised wording; it does not touch the labels or the Feedback Score. Claude Opus 5.5 groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes; code counts them. A theme counts distinct author-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one author-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 author-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different authors, without slurs, preferring posts of 60 to 450 characters, most recent first.

### 1. Linux desktop app and support

- Factory, 2026-09-27, @FactoryAI (X): “@droid @factoryai here's what's sticking out right now - no droid ios app - desktop app missing from linux - syncing missions / repos / active work between droid computers (my own not droid managed). i need to be able to shift my coding workloads off my laptop and take them everywhere with me.” [source](https://twitter.com/1382136217601417222/status/2104238899493318925)

- Cline, 2026-09-26, @cline (X): “@cline would love to try cline, but there is no linux desktop version.” [source](https://twitter.com/1601711797/status/2103693469474844955)

### 2. Multi-account support and easy switching

- Google Antigravity, 2026-09-23, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “yeah i'm not looking for any auto switching shenanigans...just log out and login and keep rolling.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wo8yb4/can_i_get_a_second_pro_account_i_dont_need_ultra/pbn3hc7/)
- OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-23, X search: OpenAI Codex, Codex CLI, Codex app (X): “how are you all managing multiple codex subscriptions on a mac? i can switch between them using the cli, but i’m looking for a cleaner way to handle multiple subscriptions in the codex app.” [source](https://twitter.com/1244515682/status/2102764628824719617)
- OpenAI Codex, 2026-09-20, r/google_antigravity (Reddit): “i have two google ai pro accounts, and i'm currently logged into the **antigravity desktop application** with one of them. as the weekly usage iimit is approaching, i'm considering switching to my other pro account. i've successfully done this with openai codex, but i'm wondering if **antigravity (desktop)** allows for account swapping without losing any chats or memories. thanks!” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/google_antigravity/comments/1wlht2g/account_swapping_support_on_antigravity/)

### 3. Windows support

- Cursor, 2026-09-20, @cursor_ai (X): “@cursor_ai are you planning to include access to origin to cursor app? and are you planning to let origin cli work on windows?” [source](https://twitter.com/1207612277614170113/status/2101708333157683241)

### Pi
