# Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
### What is the difference between `owlen` and `owlen-code`?
- `owlen` is the general-purpose chat client.
- `owlen-code` is an experimental client with a system prompt that is optimized for programming and code-related questions. In the future, it will include more code-specific features like file context and syntax highlighting.
### How do I use Owlen with a different terminal?
Owlen is designed to work with most modern terminals that support 256 colors and Unicode. If you experience rendering issues, you might try:
- **WezTerm**: Excellent cross-platform, GPU-accelerated terminal.
- **Alacritty**: Another fast, GPU-accelerated terminal.
- **Kitty**: A feature-rich terminal emulator.
If issues persist, please open an issue and let us know what terminal you are using.

2. Install Git for Windows.
3. Clone the repository: `git clone https://github.com/Owlibou/owlen.git`
