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.

Your workstation is complete. WSL2, Docker, VS Code with the right extensions, Claude Code with the safety hooks live, the MCP browser pool connected, Nextcloud running locally with the apps you need. Take a moment to feel good about that — most new Conduction developers used to lose one or two days to this; you've done it in one evening. This last part is a short map of the next tutorials, grouped by what kind of work you'll do.
