Claude on EasyEnv
Claude on EasyEnv isn't a separate product. It's a stack recipe you attach on top of any machine, plus a few pre-built templates that bundle it for you.
What it is#
Claude on EasyEnv is not a separate product or a custom machine type. It's two things bolted onto the regular Workspace product:
- A Claude stack recipe you can attach to any running machine. The stack installs the Claude Code CLI on the machine and surfaces a sign-in panel in the dashboard.
- A few templates in the catalog that already include the Claude stack on top of common base recipes (Python, Node, Go, etc.) so you skip the attach-the-stack step.
Either way, you get a normal workspace - same dashboard, same terminal, same VS Code, same TTL and members - with Claude Code wired in.
Two paths: template or attach stack#
You'll reach for one of these, depending on how prepared you want to be:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pick a Claude template | fastest | Catalog templates like claude_python_devenv, claude_node_devenv, claude_go_devenv already include the Claude stack on top of a sensible base recipe. Pick one, boot, sign in, code. |
| Attach the Claude stack | most flexible | Boot any workspace with the recipes you want, then add the Claude stack recipe to whichever machine you want Claude on. Right path when you've already got a workspace, or your base recipe isn't covered by a Claude template. |
Why this shape#
We don't bake Claude into a separate product because that would force a fork: every recipe-with-Claude has to be maintained separately from the base recipe. By making Claude a stack recipe, the same Python or Node or Go machine you'd build for any workspace also works for Claude - you just attach one extra thing.
Same shape, same dashboard, same CLI commands. If you already know how to attach a stack, you already know how to use Claude.
What's next#
- See Create a Claude workspace for the click-by-click on both paths.
- Then sign in with your Anthropic account using the panel the stack surfaces.
- And use Claude - in the terminal and inside VS Code.
