A working Conduction workstation needs a specific combination of tools: Claude Code, Docker, Nextcloud running locally, Playwright, a handful of global Claude settings and hooks, and a working gh CLI. New developers often lose their first day (or two) to setup puzzles we've already solved internally. This six-part series gets you from a clean laptop to a working workstation in one evening. Part 1 — this one — answers the question what do you install, and why before you start clicking through installers.

This is the part with the most install commands. WSL2, Docker Desktop, VS Code with the right extensions, the language runtimes (Node, PHP, Composer), the CLIs (gh, OpenSpec), and the Playwright Chromium binary. By the end of Part 2 you'll have a working dev workstation — just without Claude Code wired up yet. That's Part 3.

A workstation without a Nextcloud is half a workstation. Nearly every other tutorial in the academy assumes you have one running on localhost:8080. The good news: a dedicated tutorial already covers this end to end. This module is a short bridge that explains why you do it now, which Conduction apps to install once it's up, and how this part connects to the rest of the series.

Een Nextcloud opzetten kan op drie manieren, en de "beste" hangt af van wie je bent en wat je al draait. Een homelab op een mini-pc vraagt iets anders dan een gemeente met tien bestuurslagen en een ISO-audit. Deze tutorial zet de drie hoofdopties naast elkaar, met voor- en nadelen en een beslismatrix om snel te kiezen. Niets vervangt de officiële Nextcloud admin docs, maar dit is de korte route naar de juiste hoofdstukken.

Every other tutorial in this academy needs a working Nextcloud. This is the fastest route: a few commands and you run the official Nextcloud locally on your laptop, identical to production. You do not need to be a programmer — if you can install an app and copy and paste text, you will get through this. After that you install the Conduction apps from the Nextcloud app store, the same path as production.
