Claude from Anthropic gets down and dirty editing code, creating ansible modules, python programs. It’s cautious, its careful, and understands git. It’s worth the £18 a month if you are busy.
#!/bin/bash
# Step 1: Create a directory for global npm packages
mkdir -p ~/.npm-global
# Step 2: Configure npm to use this directory for global installs
npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global
# Step 3: Add npm global bin directory to PATH in .bashrc if not already present
if ! grep -q ‘export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH’ ~/.bashrc; then
echo ‘export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH’ >> ~/.bashrc
fi
# Step 4: Reload .bashrc to update PATH
source ~/.bashrc
# Step 5: Install Claude Code globally (no sudo required)
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
echo “Installation complete. You can now run ‘claude’ from your terminal.”
echo “If you encounter OS detection issues, run:”
echo “npm config set os linux”
echo “npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code –force –no-os-check”
Just type claude and login with your google account.
You can put a file in you are working on in the working directory and ask claude to improve it, extend it, verify it, or at least make suggestions.
