Claude Code (Anthropic’s coding-focused CLI/tooling)

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic (like ChatGPT). You can chat, write, analyze, code, and build interactive tools together. Claude Code is a separate developer tool where Claude works inside your terminal or IDE, autonomously reading and editing your actual codebase, running commands, and completing multi-step coding tasks hands-free.

Claude Code installation

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview

The curl method is Anthropic's new preferred way. It's simpler, has no dependencies, and keeps itself up to date. The npm method still works but it'll be deprecated.

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Course 1

Built in direct partnership with Anthropic and taught by their Head of Technical Education. I think it was released in 2025-08
