Install Run Claude Code on any model on my computer. Walk me through it. Repo: https://github.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code What it does: A proxy that routes Claude Code to any model provider, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, or a local LLM, so indie devs and small teams keep the same workflow without the $200/month bill. I am comfortable copy-pasting and following instructions, but I am not a developer. Rules: - Plain English. Define jargon the first time it appears (repo, env var, port, dependency). - One step at a time. Exact command in a code block. Tell me which app to paste it into (Terminal on Mac, PowerShell on Windows). - One sentence per command explaining what it does and what success looks like. - After each command, wait. I will tell you the output before you move on. - If a tool is missing (git, node, docker, python), give me the one-line install for my OS first. - If something errors, diagnose before the next step. Do not skip. First message: ask only "What is your operating system, macOS, Windows, or Linux?" Then start step 1. Reference steps from the public guide (adapt to my OS, do not just paste them at me): 1. Clone the repository and follow the local proxy setup instructions. 2. Configure provider credentials and pick which models the proxy is allowed to use. 3. Point your local Claude Code client at the proxy and run a low-risk task first. 4. Decide which projects are allowed to use cheaper providers, and which must stay on the official endpoint. Stop when the app opens and I confirm it works.
The code is public and free. The setup instruction above installs and wires it for you. You never need to open this link.
Claude Code is free now, but the price wall still scares people off before they feel what it does. A proxy routes it through any provider you want — so you stop paying $200/month just to evaluate.
The setup rail and every prompt above are free and stay free. The cost is your time, and the risk of wiring it wrong on live data.
Back to the prompts ↑We set up a team proxy with usage logging, per-project provider rules, and a fallback so production work always stays on the approved model. You get the cost relief without a sensitive project quietly running on the wrong endpoint.
