by

If you want to use Claude Code for free without paying for a subscription, OmniRoute makes the process simple. In this guide, I’ll walk you through the initial setup step by step.

I’ve already published a complete YouTube tutorial covering the entire process. This article focuses on the installation steps so you can quickly get everything ready.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure Node.js is installed on your computer.

Step 1: Verify Node.js Installation

Open Terminal (macOS/Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows) and run the following command:

node -v

If you see a version number (for example, v22.x.x), Node.js is installed correctly and you’re ready to continue.

If the command is not recognized, install Node.js first and then run the command again to verify the installation.

Step 2: Install OmniRoute

Visit omniroute.online and copy the installation command provided on the homepage.

Run the following command in your terminal:

npm install -g omniroute

This command installs OmniRoute globally, allowing you to access it from any terminal window on your system.

Wait for the installation to complete before moving on to the next step.

What’s Next?

Once OmniRoute is installed successfully, your system is ready for the next stage of the setup. In the following steps, you’ll configure OmniRoute and connect it with Claude Code to start using it.

For the complete walkthrough, including configuration and troubleshooting, watch the YouTube video linked below.

Conclusion

That’s it! You’ve completed the initial setup.

So far, you’ve:

  • Installed and verified Node.js.
  • Installed OmniRoute globally using npm.
  • Prepared your system for the Claude Code setup.
