Get started
Everything you need is on this page. Follow these steps in order and you'll be building within 30 minutes.
Before you begin
Have these ready:
- A laptop (Mac or Windows both work)
- A paid Claude Pro or Max subscription. Sign up at claude.ai. If you're unsure whether you have one, check before you start. This was the #1 setup surprise in our beta.
- Git installed on your computer
- A terminal (Mac Terminal, Windows PowerShell, or any command line). Don't worry if you've never used one. The plugin will guide you.
Optional but recommended: a speech-to-text app for talking to the plugin instead of typing. We recommend Superwhisper or your OS built-in dictation.
Step 1: Watch two short videos
Before you touch anything, watch these. They'll show you how this works and what to expect.
Step 2: Install the plugin
If you're new to Claude Code, watch this installation video first, then follow the steps below.
If you've used Claude Code before, follow the plugin setup cheat sheet to install the marketplace and plugin.
You can also access the plugin directly on GitHub: https://github.com/challengepost/devpost-curriculum
Step 3: Start building
Open a new project folder, fire up Claude Code, and run /onboard. The plugin takes it from there.
When you're done
The full submission flow (description, docs/ folder, code link, completion badge, project criteria) lives in the Submission Requirements section on the homepage. Head there when you've got something to ship.
