# Welcome to Qwen Code documentation

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to installing, using, and developing Qwen Code. This tool lets you interact with AI models through a command-line interface.

## Overview

Qwen Code brings the capabilities of advanced code models to your terminal in an interactive Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) environment. Qwen Code consists of a client-side application (`packages/cli`) that communicates with a local server (`packages/core`). Qwen Code also contains a variety of tools for tasks such as performing file system operations, running shells, and web fetching, which are managed by `packages/core`.
