Requirements & Installation

Requirements

• Obsidian desktop — Windows, Mac, or Linux. Mobile is not supported.
• Claude Code CLI — installed and authenticated. (Full install guide)
• Claude Pro or Max subscription — BojuBot rides your existing subscription. No separate API key needed.

Installing Claude Code

Windows (PowerShell)

irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Mac / Linux

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Windows note

Claude Code must be installed natively in PowerShell. A WSL-only or CMD-only install will not work with BojuBot.

After installing, verify it works:

claude --version

Then run claude once in your terminal to authenticate — it will open a browser window. If the browser doesn't open automatically, press c to copy the login URL.
