r/ChatGPTCoding on Reddit: How to Install and Use Claude Code, Maybe the Best AI Coding Tool Right Now?
February 26, 2025 -

Hey everyone,

Since Claude Code has been around for a while now and many of us are already familiar with Claude Sonnet 3.7, I wanted to share a quick step-by-step guide for those who haven’t had time to explore it yet.

This guide sums up everything you need to know about Claude Code, including:

  • How to install and set it up

  • The benefits and when to use it

  • A demo of its capabilities in action

  • Some Claude Code essential commands

I think Claude Code is a better alternative to coding assistants like Cursor and Bolt, especially for developers who want an AI that really understands the entire codebase instead of just suggesting lines.

Simple and open-source CLI AI assistant (Claude)
Can you create an autopilot mode that gives it sudo access and lets it do whatever it wants without asking? You can just feed it system logs and ask what it wants to do on loop. Morbidly curious what it will do to my system. More on reddit.com

Why is there no claude desktop for linux?
Especially given the app is on Electron, so not porting it to Linux is pure laziness. More on reddit.com

How to Install Claude Code: A Beginner's Guide » phpFashion
This beginner's guide will walk you through installing Claude Code from scratch. Future articles will cover practical usage, but first we need to get the fundamentals working. Once you complete this tutorial, you'll be ready to start experimenting with Claude Code. Claude Code operates through the command line (also called terminal), meaning you interact with it by typing text commands rather than clicking buttons.

r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Desktop for Debian-based Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Mint, MX Linux, etc.)
December 27, 2024 -

Inspired by k3d3's successful NixOS implementation, I had Claude create a Debian package build script that lets you run Claude Desktop natively on Debian-based Linux distributions.

Key features:

  • Tested on MX Linux

  • Should work on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and other Debian derivatives

  • Full support for MCP (Model Context Protocol)

  • Working Ctrl+Alt+Space popup

  • System tray integration

  • Proper desktop integration (icons, application menu)

The build script:

  • Checks system compatibility

  • Handles all dependencies automatically

  • Creates a proper Debian package

  • Implements Linux-native keyboard handling

Repository: https://github.com/aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian

To install:

git clone 
cd claude-desktop-debian
sudo ./build-deb.sh
sudo dpkg -i build/electron-app/claude-desktop_0.7.7_amd64.deb

Big thanks to k3d3 for the original work and insights into the application structure!

Note: This is an unofficial build script - please report any issues on GitHub, not to Anthropic.

MCP Setup:

  1. Click on the menu icon in the top left

Step 1

2. Go to File >> Settings

Step 2

3. Follow instructions at https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user

MCP config file will be created at ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

4. Restart Claude Desktop using the tray icon

Step 4

When you restart Claude Desktop, the changes to the MCP config will be picked up. Restart Claude fully each time you adjust claude_desktop_config.json
