r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Made Claude Code work natively on Windows
July 7, 2025 -
Just shipped win-claude-code - a wrapper that lets you run Anthropic's Claude Code directly on Windows without WSL.
npm install -g anthropic-ai/claude-code --ignore-scripts npx win-claude-code@latest
That's it. Works with PowerShell, CMD, Windows Terminal - whatever you prefer.
Built this because I got tired of WSL setup just to use Claude Code. Figured other Windows devs might find it useful too.

Would love feedback if anyone tries it out! 🚀

Nice work. It works but a bit buggy, I'm seeing freezing when it launches. And commands dont work like /doctor /migrate-installation etc. And its not reading my env vars. It is much slower, but I see you have that listed under Known Issues.. Also, this is the same amount of work as setting up WSL except now I dont have a cool terminal like Oh My Zsh as my default shell.

Claude is great for writing Powershell I don’t want to think about how to write - Code, Strings, and Keys
July 6, 2025 - Claude (and ChatGPT) are useful for writing scripts in vaguely familiar scripting languages that I would otherwise spend [much more time] trying to piece together the correct syntax to write. And I can often get a reasonable first pass from a prompt on my phone, depending on how complicated the needs are. And regardless of the quality of the code, it’s generally closer to idiomatic code than if I pieced it together myself (again, for languages I’m familiar with but not expert in).
