Tabnine AI code assistant: Client installation guide

Install and activate the Tabnine plugin

Follow these steps to install and activate the Tabnine plugin in your IDE:

1. Sign up or join a Tabnine team.

2. Install Tabnine on your IDE (activate the plugin with your Tabnine user).

3. Follow the Quickstart Guide and start using Tabnine.

Follow the right docs

The installation process is slightly different for a Tabnine SaaS and a Tabnine private installation.

We recommend following the Tabnine SaaS docs unless you were told by your team manager that your organization is using a private installation or you know your organization's private Tabnine Server URL.

1. Sign Up or Join a Tabnine Team

You can either sign up to create a new user or activate your user after receiving an invitation to join a Tabnine team.

Sign Up

If you're an individual developer or plan to start a Tabnine Pro team as an admin, sign up and create a new user.

If you signed up using your work email, follow the link you receive at that address to verify your account.

Join A Tabnine Team

If you received an invitation to join a Tabnine team by email or by invitation link, you need to accept the invitation:

• Join a Tabnine Enterprise Team (Private/Enterprise-SaaS)

Once you've accepted the invitation and joined your team on Tabnine, you need to install and activate the Tabnine plugin or extension in your IDE.

2. Install Tabnine On Your IDE

Note: There's a difference between installing a Tabnine plugin for Tabnine SaaS (all Starter and Pro users, some Enterprise users) and a Tabnine plugin for private installation (some Enterprise customers).

You can install the Tabnine plugin in multiple IDEs.

Visual Studio Code

• Visual Studio Code (Private/Enterprise-SaaS)

JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, PhpStorm, etc.)

• JetBrains IDEs (Private/Enterprise-SaaS)

Visual Studio

• Visual Studio 2022 & 2026 (Private/Enterprise-SaaS)

Eclipse

• Eclipse (Private/Enterprise-SaaS)

3. Verify that the Tabnine plugin is activated with your user

Once you've installed the Tabnine plugin, make sure it's correctly activated:

Verify on VS Code, JetBrains IDEs & Eclipse

Look for Tabnine or Tabnine Enterprise on the status bar:

VS22 & VS26

You're all set and can now start using Tabnine!
