Step 2. Open your terminal

Tips

• Want a different default? Change ANTHROPIC_MODEL to any model in the catalog.
• API_TIMEOUT_MS=600000 (10 minutes) helps for long tool-use sessions; lower it if you prefer faster fail-fast behaviour.
• The env vars only apply to shells started after source ~/.zshrc. Open a fresh terminal if claude still asks you to log in.
