+ - Select a provider from the list
+ - Click Install Selected
+ - Watch the installation progress in real-time
+ - Choose which model variants to add
+
+
+
+
The installer shows you:
+
+ - Which providers are already installed (marked in green)
+ - Cost information for each provider
+ - Available models you can use
+ - Live installation output so you know what's happening
+
+
+
+After installation, the wizard offers to add provider variants (like claude-haiku,
+claude-opus) to your configuration automatically.
