FAQ

How do I install Claude Code?+

Run `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code` in your terminal. Node.js 18+ is required. After installation, set your Anthropic API key and you're ready to go. Claude Pro subscribers can use it at no extra API cost.

What can Claude Code do autonomously?+

Claude Code can read/write/create files, run terminal commands, perform Git operations (commit, branch, PR), run tests, and search the web — all autonomously. Just describe the task in plain English.

How is Claude Code different from Cursor?+

Cursor is a GUI-based code editor. Claude Code is terminal-based with no graphical interface. Claude Code behaves more like an autonomous agent — ideal for those who prefer CLI workflows or need deep agentic automation.
