Claude Code Setup

Set up Claude Code in 15 minutes

Claude Code runs on your computer and lets you talk to Claude directly — it reads your files, writes code, and takes real actions. Step by step, no technical background needed.

Before installing anything: Claude Code only works with a Claude Pro, Max, Teams, or Enterprise subscription. The free plan doesn't include it.

Already have Claude Pro?

Onward. You're good to go.

Don't have it yet?

Get Claude Pro at claude.ai — £/$/€20/month. You'll need this before anything else will work.

Note:If you later see an “unauthorized” or “access denied” error — it's almost certainly the subscription, not your password. Check billing first.
