What you need

  • A Claude Pro or Max account — the free plan does not include Claude Code.
  • Windows: PowerShell (your prompt starts with PS C:\). Mac: Terminal.
  • Optional but recommended on Windows: Git for Windows, so Claude can run Bash commands.

Install Claude Code

Windows — PowerShell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
Windows — CMD
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd
Mac / Linux
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
Close the terminal and open it again after installing — otherwise claude isn't found yet. No Node.js needed.
Verify
claude --version
claude doctor
Official setup docscode.claude.com/docs/en/setup

First run + /init

Open your project and start Claude
cd my-project
claude
  1. Log in in the browser that opens (Pro or Max account).
  2. Type /init — Claude reads your whole project and writes a CLAUDE.md so it remembers how it works.
  3. Ask it something: *what is this project and what can you do here?*

Add skills

Skills give Claude new capabilities. Two ways, both shown in the video:

1 · From the official marketplace (type inside claude)
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
/plugin install skill-creator@claude-plugins-official
/reload-plugins
/skills
2 · Impeccable — the design skill used in the video
npx impeccable install

# or from the marketplace, inside claude:
/plugin marketplace add pbakaus/impeccable
Your own skill = one file
~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

The prompts used in the video

After /init
Explain this project in simple words and tell me what you can do here.
First build (the taste)
Make me a landing page: a hero section with a title, a short subtitle and one CTA button. Keep it in one HTML file.
Preview templates with Impeccable
/impeccable shape a one-page landing for [your project]: hero, 3 features, pricing, contact. Show me 3 different directions.
Then refine what it built
/impeccable polish
This is the taste. The full website — hosting, security, forms, SEO — is the first series inside Atlas Room.

Errors + fixes

  • 'irm' is not recognized → you're in CMD, not PowerShell. Open PowerShell or use the CMD command above.
  • The token '&&' is not a valid statement separator → the opposite: you ran the CMD command inside PowerShell.
  • claude not found right after installing → close and reopen the terminal.
  • Login says you have no access → Claude Code needs a Pro or Max plan. The free plan doesn't work.
  • The browser didn't open at login → copy the URL printed in the terminal and paste it in your browser.
