Most "getting started with AI" guides assume you already half-know what you're doing. This one doesn't. It walks through the exact screens you'll see — the folder setup, the permission prompts, the "unidentified developer" warning that stops half of beginners cold — with the answer already written, instead of leaving you to figure it out with fourteen browser tabs open.
No coding background needed. No terminal required. Just the graphical Claude Desktop app, explained one real screen at a time.
What's inside:
What Claude Code actually is, and how it's different from just chatting with an AI
Step-by-step install, including how to avoid the fake-installer scam currently targeting exactly this search term
The "ask, review, approve" rule that keeps you safe from anything hard to undo
A one-page worksheet to confirm you're actually ready, not just informed
Book 1 of the AI from Scratch series. Free, permanently — not a 7-day trial.
