Configuring Coding Tools

Using Claude Code as an example, configure to use AI models:
1. Install Claude CodePrerequisite: You need to install Node.js 18 or latest version
# Open your terminal and install Claude Code
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

# Create your working directory (e.g., `your-project`) and navigate to it using `cd`
cd your-project

# After installation, run `claude` to enter the Claude Code interactive interface

2. Configure Environment VariablesAfter installing Claude Code, set up environment variables using one of the following methods:
When setting environment variables, the terminal will not return any output. This is normal, as long as no error message appears, the configuration has been applied successfully.
Edit the Claude Code configuration file ~/.claude/settings.jsonAdd or modify the env fields:
{
  "env": {
    "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "your_api_key",
    "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://api.vibecodecheap.com/v1/ai",
