114Run the install command from PowerShell or CMD. You do not need to run as Administrator. Installing [Git for Windows](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win) is optional. It enables the [Bash tool](/docs/en/tools-reference#bash-tool-behavior) by providing Git Bash.

116116Whether you install from PowerShell or CMD only affects which install command you run. Your prompt shows `PS C:\Users\YourName>` in PowerShell and `C:\Users\YourName>` without the `PS` in CMD. If you're new to the terminal, the [terminal guide](/docs/en/terminal-guide#windows) walks through each step.

461You can also install Claude Code as a global npm package. As of v2.1.198, the npm package requires [Node.js 22 or later](https://nodejs.org/en/download). On an older Node.js version, npm prints an `EBADENGINE` warning during install rather than failing; the install completes and `claude` still runs, since the package downloads a native binary that doesn't use your Node.js at runtime.
