What is Warp?
Warp is an Agentic Development Environment - a modern terminal combined with powerful AI agents that help you build, test, deploy, and debug code. Warp's AI is powered by Oz, the orchestration platform for cloud agents.
Step 1: Install Warp

| macOS | Download from warp.dev or brew install --cask warp |
| Windows | winget install Warp.Warp |
