Qwen-Claude Setup

⚠️ This project is archived. A better approach has been found to accomplish the same goal. This repository is kept for reference purposes only and is no longer maintained.

One command to rule them all — get Qwen Code + Claude Code playing nice on your Linux box. We wire up the Claude Code router to Qwen's API (API key, compatible mode) so you can code without the setup headache.

⚠️ Project Status: Archived

This project is no longer maintained. The approach documented here has been superseded by a better solution. The code remains available for historical reference and learning purposes.

TL;DR

Clone → sudo ./install.sh → qwen-claude install → Done.

---

What's in the box

• One installer — ./install.sh sets up the qwen-claude CLI tool globally.
• Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora — (and their derivatives). Your distro's probably covered.
• Dual Authentication — Choose between API Key (dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com) or Bearer Token (portal.qwen.ai, recommended). See docs/AUTHENTICATION.md for details.
• Router config — Writes ~/.claude-code-router/config.json and your shell env so ccr just works.
• Unified CLI — Manage everything with qwen-claude.
• Easy Refresh — qwen-claude refresh handles token updates and service restarts automatically.
• Uninstaller — qwen-claude uninstall nukes our config.

Supported distros

Distro	How we do it
Ubuntu / *buntu-based	NodeSource for Node 20+, npm for Qwen/Claude/router
Debian	Same vibe as Ubuntu
Arch / Arch-based	AUR (yay/paru): qwen-code, claude-code, claude-code-router
Fedora	dnf + Node from Fedora repos

---

You’ll need

• Bash
• Internet
• sudo (or root) for packages
• A GitHub account (for Qwen OAuth)

---

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/cativo23/qwen-claude-setup.git
cd qwen-claude-setup
sudo ./install.sh
qwen-claude install

What happens:

1. Detects your OS and runs the right distro script.
2. Installs Qwen Code, Claude Code, Claude Code Router (or tells you what to install).
3. Credentials — Choose your authentication method (API Key or Bearer Token) and provide credentials.
4. Config — Writes router config and appends to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.

---

After install

1. Reload your shell

   source ~/.bashrc   # or source ~/.zshrc

2. Start the router

   ccr start          # or ccr code for the full experience

Credentials live in ~/.claude-code-router/config.json. Router default port: 3456.

Uninstalling

To remove everything we added (router config, env vars):

./scripts/uninstall.sh

We don’t touch your system/AUR packages — uninstall qwen-code, claude-code, etc. with your package manager if you want them gone.
