⚠️ If you don’t have the course materials yet: Go back to 0.2: Get the Course & Start first. One pasted prompt installs everything.
There are two ways to launch this course:
Option One: The Claude Desktop App
Open Claude and open your course project. That’s it - you’re back where you left off.
Option Two: The Terminal (Claude Code CLI)
Type these commands into your terminal:
cd ~/Documents/cc4e-course
claudeThis navigates to your course folder and opens Claude Code directly inside it. (If you put the course somewhere else, use that path instead.)
Either way, you end up at the same place. Then, to start this module:
Start this module in Claude Code: Run
