Free · Instant download · PDF for Mac and Windows

You followed the tutorial, typed the command, and got a wall of red text. These cards cover the 8 errors beginners hit most when setting up and using Claude Code on a work computer, each with what it means in plain English and exactly what to type next.

The 8 cards

1. "command not found: claude"
2. Windows: "'irm' is not recognized" (the install line for the wrong window)
3. "command not found: brew" (you don't need Homebrew)
4. "npm: command not found" or "running scripts is disabled" (install without Node.js or npm)
5. "EACCES: permission denied" or a tutorial asking for sudo (install without admin rights)
6. Company network blocks the install (proxy or certificate errors)
7. "Not logged in · Please run /login" (sign in with the right account)
8. "You've hit your session limit" (keep going when you hit a limit)

Each card gives you

• The error as you'll see it on screen
• What it means, in plain English
• The exact line to copy and paste, for Mac or Windows
• When to stop and ask your IT team instead
