anthropics/claude-code
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool developed by Anthropic that operates directly inside your terminal, IDE, or GitHub via user mentions. The GitHub snapshot shows the repository is not archived. Built for developers seeking greater efficiency, it understands existing codebases, accelerates daily programming by executing routine chores, explains complicated logic, and manages git workflows through natural language commands. Users can extend core capabilities through official plugins maintained in the claude-plugins-official repository, join conversations in the Claude Developers Discord, and report issues directly within the tool using the /bug command or through GitHub Issues.
Check the official installation guide for the selected platform’s system requirements. Although global npm installation is deprecated, official setup methods support multiple operating systems. Users on macOS and Linux can run the recommended curl installation script or use Homebrew cask. On Windows, setup is supported via the official PowerShell script or the WinGet package Anthropic.ClaudeCode. Script commands download and immediately execute remote code; review the source before running them. Once installed, navigating to the project directory and running the claude command starts the program. GitHub metadata does not identify a license; inspect the official terms before use. For another coding agent, compare OpenCode; its workflow and terms differ.
