Getting started
The steps below get VS Code and the Claude Code extension running on your machine. Step 5 is the important one: you'll drop in a project file that tells Claude what you're building, so you can start a conversation and it already has the context.
Download VS Code
Get the editor from Microsoft. It's free and runs on Mac and Windows. Download VS Code
Open the Extensions panel
In VS Code, click the Extensions icon in the left sidebar. It looks like this:
Search "Claude Code" and install the extension
Find the extension by Anthropic and install it. Open in Marketplace
Sign in with your Claude account
VS Code will prompt you when the extension loads. Use your Anthropic account. If you don't have one, create one at claude.ai first.
Download CLAUDE.md and move it to your home folder
This file gives Claude its instructions for your project. On Mac, open Finder and press ⇧ + ⌘ + H to jump straight to your home folder, then drop the file in. (On Windows, open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Users\yourname.)
Create a project folder and open it in VS Code
Make a new folder for your project anywhere on your computer (like on your Desktop). In VS Code, go to File, then Open Folder, and select it.
Click the Spark icon in the left sidebar
Look for the icon in the sidebar. Click it to open the Claude panel.
Start talking
Describe what you want to build. Claude has already read its instructions. Tell it what you're making and go from there.
