# ECA IntelliJ
[](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/28289-eca)
[Free OpenSource Intellij plugin](https://github.com/editor-code-assistant/eca-intellij) with support for AI pair programming via [ECA](https://eca.dev)
---
ECA (Editor Code Assistant) IntelliJ is an AI-powered pair-programming client for IntelliJ.
It connects to an external `eca` server process to provide interactive chat, code suggestions, context management and more.
For more details about ECA, features and configuration, check [ECA server](https://eca.dev).
This extension will auto download `eca` and manage the process.
## Install
Just install the `ECA` plugin in [Jetbrains marketplace](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/28289-eca).
## Settings
Go to Preferences > Tools > ECA.
## Troubleshooting
Check [troubleshooting](http://eca.dev/troubleshooting) docs section.
## Development
### Webview
To start the [eca-webview](https://github.com/editor-code-assistant/eca-webview):
```bash
bb dev-webview
```
This will start Vite dev server on `http://localhost:5173`, so any changes will be updated on the IntelliJ live.
### Plugin
`bb install-plugin ` to install the plugin locally. The
installed plugin will point at the Vite dev server, so you also need
`bb dev-webview` running for it to render.
or
`bb build-plugin` to manually install via intellij the .zip.
#### Prod-flavored local install
If you want to install the plugin locally and run it **without** `bb dev-webview`
(i.e. with the production webview bundled into the zip, just like the
JetBrains-marketplace build), use:
`bb install-prod-plugin ` — builds the webview prod assets,
builds the plugin zip with `is-dev` stripped out, and unzips it into the
IntelliJ plugins directory.
or
`bb build-prod-plugin` — same build, but stops at producing the zip in
`build/distributions/`.
