# Windsurf

Windsurf is Codeium's code editor designed for AI-assisted development.

Follow this guide to use Windsurf to access your Coder workspaces.

If your team uses Windsurf regularly, ask your Coder administrator to add Windsurf as a workspace application in your template. You can also use the [Windsurf module](https://registry.coder.com/modules/coder/windsurf) to easily add Windsurf to your Coder templates.

## Install Windsurf

Windsurf can connect to your Coder workspaces via SSH:

1. [Install Windsurf](https://docs.codeium.com/windsurf/getting-started) on your local machine.

2. Open Windsurf and select **Get started**.
   
   Import your settings from another IDE, or select **Start fresh**.

3. Complete the setup flow and log in or [create a Codeium account](https://codeium.com/windsurf/signup) if you don't have one already.

## Install the Coder extension

1. You can install the Coder extension through the Marketplace built in to Windsurf or manually.
