Your fallback dev environment, ready to go in the cloud.
If you can't install Claude Code locally (or just want to skip setup), click the button below to launch a fully configured environment in your browser.
This Codespace comes pre-loaded with:
- Claude Code — ready to authenticate and use
- Python 3.12
- Node.js (latest LTS)
- Go
- Git & GitHub CLI
Need something else? It's Ubuntu under the hood — sudo apt install anything you want, or just ask Claude Code to install it for you.
- Click the green button above (or go to Code → Codespaces → New codespace on this repo)
- Wait ~2 minutes for the environment to build
- Open the Terminal panel at the bottom of the screen (
Ctrl+`if it's not visible) - Type
claudeand hit Enter - You'll see a login link — click it, sign in with your Anthropic account
- You're ready to code
- Make the terminal big. We'll be working in the terminal, not the editor. Drag the terminal panel up or double-click its title bar to maximize it.
- Web apps just work. If Claude Code starts a dev server, Codespaces will detect the port and show a notification with a link. Click it to open your app in a new tab. If you miss the notification, check the Ports tab next to the Terminal tab.
- Your Codespace persists. You can close the browser and come back later — your files and work will still be there. Codespaces auto-stop after 30 minutes of inactivity.
- Need a different language? Ask Claude Code: "Install Ruby and create a hello world script." It'll handle the
apt installfor you.
If you'd rather run Claude Code on your own machine:
- Mac/Linux:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code(requires Node.js 18+) - Windows: Install WSL first (
wsl --install), then install Claude Code inside WSL
