I asked Claude 2 how to deploy itself in different operating systems. Here are the answers I got.

Deploy Claude 2 in your PC with Windows 11

- Make sure your Windows 11 PC meets the minimum requirements — 8GB RAM, multi-core CPU, DirectX 12 compatible GPU.

- Download the Windows package (.exe installer) for Claude 2 from Anthropic.

- Run the installer and choose a install location like C:\Claude2. Accept the license agreement.

- Allow the installer to download any required runtimes like Visual C++ or .NET Core if prompted.

- Launch the installed Claude 2 application. It should create default config files in %appdata%\Claude2 folder.

- Edit the claude.json config file to enable features like visual avatar, speech, etc. Set microphone and speaker devices.

- For the API, install Python 3.7+ and the claude python package (pip install claude).

- Start the Claude 2 server from the Windows start menu or command prompt. Verify it starts properly.

- Open the Claude 2 GUI app or test the API in Python. Ask some questions to check it works.
