Installing Claude code from scratch on MacOS Tahoe

I decided to record this video for our Nushell series, even though it isn't directly related to my Nushell setup. I imagine that Claude Code can really help with possible problems in the terminal in general, and in Nushell in particular. So, here is my version of the video.

First, you'll need to install Node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/download
Then, install Claude Code itself: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/setup

Streamline your macOS setup to match the environment used in all Nushell tutorials on this channel! These essential tweaks help beginners reproduce the same terminal workflow and follow along more easily. Full manual link in the description below.

📖 Full manual: https://github.com/nushell-prophet/nushell-prophet-manuals/blob/main/manuals/03-macos-tweaks-01/manual.md

🔧 What You'll Learn:
- Essential Terminal app settings for improved usability
- macOS system tweaks via terminal commands (key repeat, dock configuration)
- Finder settings for better file management
- How to create an optimized workflow environment

💡 Why This Matters:
While not directly Nushell-related, these macOS optimizations significantly improve your terminal workflow and development experience. These are the same settings I use for all my tutorial videos, helping you replicate a professional terminal environment.

📝 Prerequisites:
- macOS system (any recent version)
- No prior terminal experience needed!
- Basic familiarity with System Preferences

These tweaks include removing dock icons for a cleaner workspace, adjusting key repeat rates for faster typing, and optimizing Finder view settings. Whether you're following the Nushell tutorial series or just want to improve your macOS terminal experience, these configurations will make your workflow more efficient.

Meet Cozy — my terminal environment for working with AI agents inside isolated sandboxes. It runs in a Linux VM created by sbx, Docker's sandbox CLI for macOS and Windows.

First video of the series: copying commands and their output — without the mouse.

▪️ example — appends to a pipeline, copies the command with its output ready to paste
▪️ copy-out — grabs past commands and their output from the Zellij scrollback, with completions
▪️ pbcopy on Linux via an OSC 52 escape sequence — clipboard works from inside the sandbox
▪️ Ctrl+Alt+C — copy the current command line
▪️ capture the pane into Helix in a floating window for editing and partial copying

Cozy — installing it from scratch. Second video of the series: we set up cozy in an sbx sandbox (Docker's sandbox CLI for macOS and Windows) and look at what the installer actually does.

▪️ The three-command quick start — clone, sbx create, connect
▪️ What each part of sbx create means — the agent image, the kit, the mounted workspace
▪️ Watching a silent install through its log file with sbx exec -it DEMO tail -f
▪️ Inside the installer: the kit's env and network allowlist, Homebrew, then bootstrap.nu — modules, dotfiles, Claude Code + MCP, and a final stamp
▪️ Connecting through WezTerm, and cozy verify to check what landed

One install script works the same in a sandbox, on a plain host, or in a container.

Small Nushell settings, shown one at a time, with the visible difference each one makes. Part 1 — the same config I use inside Cozy.

▪️ History in SQLite — every command carries its directory, exit code and timestamp, so you can query it
▪️ Two table tweaks — a repeated footer on tall tables, and the header moved onto the border line
▪️ Abbreviations — expand as you type, and unlike aliases the *real* command lands in history
▪️ Working-directories menu (Alt+Shift+R) — recent folders straight from the SQLite history
▪️ Variables menu (Alt+O) — built with fzf, because a native menu can't see your variables ([nushell#14071](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/14071))
▪️ Ctrl+V — wraps the command line in a raw string r#'...'# and toggles back, so quotes stop fighting you

Every setting is tagged #:nu-show-09 in my config — search #:nu-show-09 in [nushell/config.nu](https://github.com/nushell-prophet/my-dotfiles/blob/main/nushell/config.nu).
