# Day 0 — Claude Code Setup
This guide walks you through installing Claude Code on your machine and authenticating so you can start using it.
## Step 1: Install Claude Code
Choose your operating system:
| OS | Guide |
|----|-------|
| Windows | [windows.md](windows.md) |
| Linux | [linux.md](linux.md) |
| macOS | [mac.md](mac.md) |
Follow the guide for your OS, then come back here for authentication.

# Linux Setup
[Back to Day 0](Day0.md)
## Prerequisites
You need **Node.js v18 or higher** and **npm**.
## Step 1: Install Node.js
### Option A: Via nodejs.org Download Page with fnm (Recommended)
**fnm** (Fast Node Manager) is officially recommended by Node.js. It's fast, lightweight, and lets you switch Node versions easily if needed later.
1. Open your browser and go to [nodejs.org/en/download](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
2. You'll see a row of dropdowns that says: **"Get Node.js® vXX.XX.X (LTS) for __ using __ with __"**. Set the dropdowns as follows:
| Dropdown | Select |
|----------|--------|
| Version | **vXX.XX.X (LTS)** — keep the default LTS version, don't change it |
| OS | **Linux** |
| Package Manager | **fnm** (under "Recommended (Official)") |
| Package Format | **npm** — keep the default |
3. The page will show you the exact commands to run. Open your terminal and copy-paste them. They will look something like this:
```bash
# Step 1 — Install fnm
curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash
# Step 2 — Restart your terminal or reload your shell profile
source ~/.bashrc # or: source ~/.zshrc (if you use zsh)
# Step 3 — Install Node.js
fnm install 24 # The page will show the exact version number
```
> The version number may differ from above — always use whatever the website shows.
4. **Close and reopen your terminal** (or run the `source` command above) so that `fnm`, `node`, and `npm` are available.
> **Why fnm?** It's in the "Recommended (Official)" category on the Node.js download page. Like nvm, it installs Node into your home directory so you never need `sudo` for npm global installs — but fnm is significantly faster (written in Rust) and works the same across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
### Option B: Using your distro's package manager
This is quicker but may install an older version of Node.js. **Check the version after installing** — if it's below v18, use Option A instead.
**Ubuntu / Debian:**
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y nodejs npm
# Check the version
node --version # Must be v18 or higher
```
**Fedora:**
```bash
sudo dnf install -y nodejs npm
```
**Arch Linux:**
```bash
sudo pacman -S nodejs npm
```
### Option C: NodeSource (Latest LTS via apt, no nvm)
For Ubuntu/Debian users who want the latest LTS without using nvm:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs
```
## Step 2: Verify Node.js
```bash
node --version
npm --version
```
Both should print version numbers. `node --version` must show v18.x or higher.
## Step 3: Install Claude Code
```bash
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```
> **Permission error?**
> - If you used **fnm** or **nvm**: this shouldn't happen. Check that it's active (`which node` should point to a path inside your home directory, not `/usr/...`).
> - If you used a system install: either use `sudo npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code` or fix npm's global directory permissions:
> ```bash
> mkdir -p ~/.npm-global
> npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
> echo 'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
> source ~/.bashrc
> ```
## Step 4: Verify Claude Code
```bash
claude --version
```
You should see the Claude Code version printed. Now head back to [Day0.md](Day0.md) for authentication setup.

## Notes
- **WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux):** This guide works inside WSL too. Just follow these steps from your WSL terminal.
- **PATH issues:** If `claude` is not found after install, ensure npm's global bin is in your PATH. Run `npm config get prefix` — the `bin/` subdirectory of that path needs to be in your PATH.

**Terminal**
- Open Terminal (press `Cmd + Space`, type "Terminal", hit Enter)
**Homebrew**
- Check if Homebrew is already installed:
```bash
brew --version
```
- If you get "command not found", install Homebrew first:
```bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
**Claude Code**
- ```bash
brew install --cask claude-code
```
**Verify**
- ```bash
claude --version
```

# Windows Setup
[Back to Day 0](Day0.md)
## Prerequisites
You need **Node.js v18 or higher** and **npm** (bundled with Node.js).
## Step 1: Install Node.js
### Option A: Via nodejs.org Download Page with fnm (Recommended)
**fnm** (Fast Node Manager) is officially recommended by Node.js. It's fast, lightweight, and lets you switch Node versions easily if needed later.
1. Open your browser and go to [nodejs.org/en/download](https://nodejs.org/en/download).
2. You'll see a row of dropdowns that says: **"Get Node.js® vXX.XX.X (LTS) for __ using __ with __"**. Set the dropdowns as follows:
| Dropdown | Select |
|----------|--------|
| Version | **vXX.XX.X (LTS)** — keep the default LTS version, don't change it |
| OS | **Windows** |
| Package Manager | **fnm** (under "Recommended (Official)") |
| Package Format | **npm** — keep the default |
3. The page will show you the exact commands to run. Open **PowerShell as Administrator** (right-click the Start menu > "Terminal (Admin)" or search for PowerShell > right-click > "Run as administrator").
4. Copy and paste the commands from the page. They will look something like this:
```powershell
# Step 1 — Install fnm
winget install Schniz.fnm
# Step 2 — Configure fnm environment (add to your PowerShell profile)
fnm env --use-on-cd --shell powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression
# Step 3 — Install Node.js
fnm install 24 # The page will show the exact version number
```
> The version number may differ from above — always use whatever the website shows.
5. **Close and reopen your terminal** after installation. This is important so that `node` and `npm` are available in your PATH.
> **Why fnm?** It's in the "Recommended (Official)" category on the Node.js download page, installs in seconds (written in Rust), and works natively on Windows — unlike nvm which requires a separate community port for Windows.
### Option B: Official .msi Installer (Alternative)
If you prefer a traditional installer:
1. Go to [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org). The homepage shows a big **"Download Node.js (LTS)"** button.
2. Click it to download the `.msi` file.
3. Run the installer:
- Click **Next** through the wizard.
- Accept the license agreement.
- Keep the default install location (`C:\Program Files\nodejs\`).
- On the "Tools for Native Modules" screen, **check the box** for "Automatically install the necessary tools" — this installs build tools you may need later.
- Click **Install** and wait for it to finish.
4. **Restart your terminal** after installation.
### Option C: Using winget (One-liner)
If you have `winget` (built into Windows 10/11):
```powershell
winget install OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS
```
Close and reopen your terminal after installation.
## Step 2: Verify Node.js
Open a **new** terminal (Command Prompt, PowerShell, or Windows Terminal) and run:
```powershell
node --version
npm --version
```
Both commands should print version numbers. If you get "not recognized", restart your terminal or check that Node.js is in your PATH.
## Step 3: Install Claude Code
```powershell
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```
> If you get a permission error, open your terminal as **Administrator** (right-click > Run as administrator) and run the command again.
## Step 4: Verify Claude Code
```powershell
claude --version
```
You should see the Claude Code version printed. Now head back to [Day0.md](Day0.md) for authentication setup.

## Notes
- **Recommended terminal:** Windows Terminal or PowerShell. The classic Command Prompt works but has limited features.
- **WSL users:** If you prefer running Claude Code inside WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), follow the [Linux guide](linux.md) instead — WSL is a full Linux environment.
- **PATH issues:** If `claude` is not recognized after install, npm's global bin directory may not be in your PATH. Run `npm config get prefix` to find it, then add the resulting path to your system's PATH environment variable.
