Common questions and answers about Claude Code installation, usage, and troubleshooting.
A: Yes, you need either a Claude Pro subscription ($20/month) or Anthropic API credits. The Pro subscription is more economical for regular use.
A: Yes, but you need to install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) first. Claude Code runs inside the Linux environment provided by WSL.
A: Node.js 18 or higher is required. We recommend Node.js 20 LTS for the best experience.
A: Run npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest
to update to the latest version.
A: Yes! Claude Code integrates with VS Code, Cursor, and other popular IDEs. Use the /ide
command to set up integration.
A: With a Claude Pro subscription ($20/month), usage is included. API users pay per token - typically $0.10-$2.00 per hour of active coding.
A: First, verify Node.js is installed (node --version
), check your API key is set, and ensure you have an active Claude subscription or API credits.
A: Run /clear
to clear the context, or /logout
and /login
to reset authentication.
A: No, Claude Code requires an internet connection to communicate with Anthropic's AI models.
