Getting started

Connect Claude Code — from a terminal

The most capable of the five, and the one that asks the most of you upfront: opening a terminal once. If that word means nothing yet, this page explains it before asking you to use it.

Not sure this is the right one? Compare all five ways in.

1. Install it

Visit claude.com/claude-code and follow the one line it gives you for your computer. If "terminal" is a new word: it is the plain, mostly-black window your computer already has (Terminal on a Mac, PowerShell on Windows) — you paste in a line of text and press Enter. That is the entire skill this requires.

The Claude Code page, showing the 'Download for macOS' button and the other surfaces it runs on: Terminal, Web, iOS, Android, GitHub, VS Code, JetBrains, Slack

The Claude Code page. That "Download for macOS" button is a point-and-click installer if you'd rather use it — either way you end up with the same tool. The same page also has the one-line terminal command we're using here.

2. Tell it about Erawan — once

curl -fsSL https://erawan.cloud/install | sh

On Windows the same thing is irm https://erawan.cloud/install.ps1 | iex. This one line installs both the erawan command and the playbook that tells the agent how to use it — you only run it once, in any project folder.

3. Say what you want

Start Claude Code inside your project folder and describe what you want.

What to actually type

No code words required — describe the outcome the way you'd explain it to a person. A few real examples:

Build me a simple personal notes app — I can write a note and delete it — and put it online.
Make a page where people can sign up for updates with their email, and put it online.
Build a small to-do list I can check items off, with a password so only I can open it.

If what comes back isn't quite right, just say what's wrong in plain words — "make the button bigger," "I wanted a delete button too" — and it changes it. You're having a conversation, not filing a support ticket.

What happens after you hit enter

Your agent checks its own code for mistakes that can cause real harm — a secret accidentally committed, a debug mode left on — then builds and returns a working link, usually within minutes. You can start without an account; sign up free within 24 hours to keep the app and its URL. The longer explanation of what a deploy does is its own post, if you want it.

If it doesn't work on the first try

It is not your job to chase the problem down. Your agent reads the error, changes the code and tries the deploy again. If it is still stuck, say plainly what the screen shows; it can read the logs from there.

What it costs

You can start free without an account. A guest app stays live for 24 hours; sign up free inside that window to keep the app and its URL. After you sign up, the Free plan has no expiry. Full pricing is on the front page.
