Claude Code Workstation Setup

I want to get a single, well-organised Claude Code installation running locally (or in a lightweight VM) that I can rely on for four day-to-day workflows: accounting work, digital marketing, AI-driven tasks, and web design. At the moment everything is scattered across different apps and browser tabs; the goal is to consolidate those tools into a clean terminal or desktop interface that lets me jump from reconciling books to drafting a Meta ads campaign without context-switch pain.

Here is what I need from you:

• Install or guide me through installing Claude Code on my Windows laptop (I can spin up WSL2, Docker, or a small Linux VM if that is cleaner).
• Configure folders, extensions or plug-ins so I can:
– run bookkeeping scripts (CSV import, quick P&L templates, basic tax calculators)
– spin up digital-marketing assets such as video sales-letter outlines, ad-copy snippets and funnel wireframes
– use AI prompts inside Claude Code efficiently (custom prompt library, few-shot templates, shortcuts)
– prototype simple HTML/CSS/JS pages for web-design tests
• Add handy command aliases so I can trigger any of the above with a short keyword.
• Document the entire setup: installation steps, config files, and a cheatsheet of the main commands.

Acceptance criteria: the environment launches with one click, every prompt or script in the cheatsheet runs without errors, and I can open a new project folder knowing that accounting templates, marketing snippets, AI prompt presets, and basic web-design scaffolds are already wired in.

If you are comfortable juggling terminal tooling, Docker or virtual machines, and can think like both a marketer and a bookkeeper, I’d love to hear how you would approach the setup and how long you expect it to take.
