the setup behind the visual work we post — a Claude Code environment configured specifically for design output, not general coding. this is the free, exact install walkthrough: what to install, how to configure it, and the order to do it in, so your setup matches ours and actually produces real output the first time.
Claude Code out of the box is built for writing software. This walkthrough is the exact configuration that redirects it toward visual output — the setup we actually run to produce the graphics, mockups, and on-brand visuals behind the posts.
Follow it once, and you have the same design-ready setup running locally — reusable for every visual you make after, not a one-off.
No paid template on this one — the full install walkthrough is free, no email gate.
The exact steps to get the design-focused Claude Code stack running on your machine — install, configuration, and how to confirm it's working before you start.
