One-Liner Quickstart

Get cc-deck running in under two minutes.

Interactive (try it now)

Start cc-deck directly and land in a Zellij session with the sidebar:

With API Key

podman run -it --rm \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... \
  quay.io/cc-deck/cc-deck-demo:latest

With Vertex AI

podman run -it --rm \
  -e CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1 \
  -e CLOUD_ML_REGION=us-east5 \
  -e ANTHROPIC_VERTEX_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id \
  -v ~/.config/gcloud:/home/dev/.config/gcloud:ro \
  quay.io/cc-deck/cc-deck-demo:latest

Persistent (background container)

For a container you can connect to and disconnect from repeatedly:

podman run -d --name mydev \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-... \
  quay.io/cc-deck/cc-deck-demo:latest \
  sleep infinity

podman exec -it mydev zellij --layout cc-deck

Reconnect anytime:

podman exec -it mydev zellij attach
