Set up your AI-OS

Five steps, all clicks. No terminal, no coding.

~30 minutes Mac or Windows No coding

What you need

  • A Mac or Windows computer.
  • A Claude subscription (Pro, ~€20/mo — not included). Get one at claude.ai.
  • Your AI-OS folder — the one we emailed. Unzip it, keep it out of Downloads.

Install VS Code

code.visualstudio.com → Download → install like any app. It's the free window your OS lives in.

The VS Code download page with the Download button top-right.

Add the Claude Code extension

Click the Extensions icon (four squares) → search Claude Code → Install the one by Anthropic.

Silent screen recording · loops

Open your AI-OS and run /onboard

File → Open Folder → pick your AI-OS folder (trust the authors if asked). Then type /onboard and press Enter — your OS introduces itself and sets you up live.

Open more chats in parallel

Click + for a new chat — run several at once, each its own conversation working in parallel.

Ask it anything

Any question you have — just ask it directly to your AI-OS. It can help you with anything.

If something doesn't work

No Claude icon after install
Quit VS Code fully and reopen the folder.
Sign-in won't return to VS Code
Sign in at claude.ai first, then retry.
/onboard does nothing
Open the AI-OS folder itself (Step 3) — the sidebar should show CLAUDE.md at the top.
Anything else
Ask Claude in the chat, or email support@myaioperatingsystem.com.

That's it — your AI-OS is running. Everything else lives in docs/, and your OS can explain any of it. Just ask.
