This tutorial installs Qwen Code on Windows 11 using npm in Command Prompt. The speaker finds the project's GitHub page, notes Windows and PowerShell installation options, and chooses npm. Node.js is already installed on the demonstrated system, which reports Node.js 24 and npm 11.3.
The speaker copies a global installation command for the latest package and waits for it to finish. He then checks the CLI version, opens its help output, and launches Qwen Code. These checks provide a simple way to confirm the installation before starting a conversation.
The final part uses Ollama to select a model. One selection prompts an Ollama upgrade, which the speaker cancels with Ctrl+C before trying another option. Qwen Code returns a greeting response, followed by a C# coding request. The walkthrough focuses on installation and this brief interaction, without a comparison of the available models.
