Beginners
For people just starting out
You're about to have a conversation with an AI that can actually touch your files. Create a practice folder, start Claude Code, and try three starter prompts that show the entire workflow.
You're going to paste one command, wait a minute, and Claude Code will be ready. No runtimes to install, no PATH to configure, no settings to edit.
The terminal is the most intimidating thing that isn't actually intimidating. It's just a text window where you type something, press Enter, and your computer responds.
You want to build something but you're not a programmer. Claude Code is an AI that lives on your computer, making real changes. Talk to it in plain English.
