Dear all,
On Wednesday 18 November, at the time in your invitation (venue: see your invitation), you will build your own CRM on your laptop with Claude Code. You do not need any coding experience.
There is no time to install software in the room. Please finish the setup below by Sunday 15 November. It takes about 15 minutes.
1. A paid Claude plan. Claude Code needs a Pro plan or higher. The free plan does not include Claude Code. Check your plan at claude.ai → Settings.
2. Install the Claude desktop app. Download it from claude.com/download and sign in with the same account.
3. Install Python 3. Download it from python.org/downloads and run the installer. - Windows: on the first screen, tick "Add python.exe to PATH" before you click Install. - Mac: click through the installer with the default options.
4. Make your workshop folder. Create a folder named my-crm (for example, in Documents). Save clients_demo.csv into it. It holds 20 fictional clients, with names and notes in English and Chinese. Do not open and re-save it in Excel: that can garble the Chinese text.
5. Check that everything works. Open the Claude desktop app → Code tab → choose the my-crm folder. Then type:
What files are in this folder, and which Python version is installed?
You should see clients_demo.csv and a Python version number that starts with 3. If Claude asks for permission to run a command, read it and allow it.
When this works, you are ready. Do not build anything yet. We will start together.
Reply to your invitation email with a screenshot of where you stopped, by Monday 16 November. We will also be in the room 20 minutes early to help.
See you on the 18th,
各位好,
11 月 18 日(周三)(时间、地点见邀请函),我们会用 Claude Code 在你自己的电脑上搭一个属于你的 CRM。不需要会写代码。
现场没有时间装软件。请在 11 月 15 日(周日)前完成下面的准备,大约 15 分钟。
1. 付费 Claude 账号。 Claude Code 需要 Pro 或更高的套餐,免费版不含 Claude Code。可以在 claude.ai → Settings 查看自己的套餐。
2. 安装 Claude 桌面应用。 从 claude.com/download 下载,用同一个账号登录。
3. 安装 Python 3。 从 python.org/downloads 下载并运行安装程序。 - Windows: 第一个界面先勾选 「Add python.exe to PATH」,再点 Install。 - Mac: 安装程序全部用默认选项。
4. 建工作坊文件夹。 建一个名叫 my-crm 的文件夹(例如放在「文稿」里)。把clients_demo.csv 存进去,里面是 20 位虚构客户,姓名和备注有中英文。请不要用 Excel 打开后再保存,那样可能把中文变成乱码。
5. 检查是否装好。 打开 Claude 桌面应用 → Code 标签页 → 选择 my-crm 文件夹,然后输入:
What files are in this folder, and which Python version is installed?
你应该看到 clients_demo.csv,以及以 3 开头的 Python 版本号。如果 Claude 请求运行命令,先读一遍,再点允许。
看到这两样,就准备好了。 先不要开始搭,我们现场一起做。
请在 11 月 16 日(周一)前回复邀请邮件,附上卡住那一步的截图。当天我们也会提前 20 分钟到场帮忙。
18 日见,
