Environment checked. Now — setting up the workshop.
Don't picture this as "installing software." Picture a chef before service: every knife in its slot, mise en place assembled, sauces ready to go. Nothing wasted. Everything within reach.

Want a working lab right away? Run one command in your terminal. It installs Node.js, Git, and Claude Code, then verifies the result. If anything goes wrong, the step-by-step path is below.
💡 On Linux, use the same command as Mac (
curl … | bash).
⚠️ A command like this downloads a script and runs it on your computer straight away. If you want to see what it does first, save it to a file —
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh -o install.sh(on Windows:irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1) — read it, and only then run it (bash install.shor.\install.ps1).
After it finishes, open a new terminal and run claude. Below is the manual path if you want to understand each step.
Claude Code is a CLI (command-line interface), an agent that works right in your terminal.
