3333The extension also installs in other VS Code forks like Devin Desktop or Kiro. Search for "Claude Code" in the editor's Extensions view, or install from the [Open VSX registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/Anthropic/claude-code). If your editor can't install the extension, [install the CLI](/docs/en/quickstart) and run `claude` in its integrated terminal instead. The CLI works in any terminal.
