Summary ⤵️
A complete walkthrough for installing Claude Code on Windows using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). I show you every step: installing WSL with Ubuntu, updating packages, running the Claude Code installer, setting up your PATH, and authenticating with your Claude subscription. I also cover why WSL gives you a much better Claude Code experience than native Windows, which subscription tier to get ($100/month recommended), and an optional alias for running Claude in dangerously-skip-permissions mode.
