# Gemini CLI
Zed provides the ability to run Gemini CLI directly in our [Agent Panel](./agent-panel.md).
Zed provides the ability to run [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) directly in the [Agent Panel](./agent-panel.md).
Under the hood we run Gemini CLI in the background, and talk to it over the [Agent Client Protocol (ACP)](https://agentclientprotocol.com).
This means that you're running the real Gemini CLI, with all of the advantages of that, but you can see and interact with files in your editor.
## Getting Started
The Gemini integration should be enabled by default, run `agent: new gemini cli thread`.
The Gemini integration should be enabled by default.
To access it, run `agent: new gemini cli thread`.
### Installation
If you don't yet have Gemini CLI installed, then Zed will install a version for you.
If you do, then we will use the version of Gemini on your path.

If it is too old, you will see an error message, and you will have to upgrade Gemini.
The instructions depend on how you originally installed it, but typically `npm install -g gemini-cli@preview` should work.

### Authentication
After you have Gemini CLI running, you'll be prompted to choose your authentication method.
Most users should click "Log in with Google", but if you have an API key already you can also click "Use Gemini API Key".
Most users should click the "Log in with Google" button that will show up in the UI, but if you have an API key already you can also click "Use Gemini API Key".
The "Vertex AI" option is for those who are using Vertex AI, and have already configured their environment correctly.

## Usage
Similar to the built-in agent in [the agent panel](./agent-panel.md), you can use Gemini CLI to do anything that you need.
You can @-mention files, recent conversations, symbols, or fetch the web.
In this initial version, Gemini CLI does not support editing previous messages.
We hope to add this ability soon.
In this initial version, some features supported by the first-party agent are not avaialble for Gemini CLI.
Capacities such as editing previous messages, checkpoints, profile selection, and others should hopefully be added in the future.
