P2: 0.12.5 is the first release where link works, but the changelog records a TUI regression there for signed-in users: keybindings stop working and Ctrl+C does not quit. Since this step sends signed-in users to the TUI, recommend 0.12.6 or later here, or note the regression.

If it is older, run `npm install -g altimate-code` again. If `--version` still shows the old version after that, another copy runs first: `which -a altimate-code` (`where altimate-code` on Windows) lists every copy on your `PATH`, so remove the old one.

P3: where resolves to PowerShell's Where-Object alias, so Windows users in PowerShell won't list installed copies. Use where.exe altimate-code for the Windows command instead.

Use where.exe for the Windows PATH check.

In Windows PowerShell, where resolves to the Where-Object alias, not the Windows PATH-search executable. The documented command therefore does not list competing altimate-code installations. Replace it with where.exe altimate-code.

leave the Unix `which -a` command and surrounding guidance unchanged.

2. **Sign in to Altimate.** In a terminal:

```bash
altimate-code auth login -p altimate-backend --method "Altimate LLM Gateway"
```

It opens your browser; sign in and return to the terminal. (Inside the TUI, `/connect` does the same.) The command also works from Claude Code: type it after `!` in the prompt.

3. **Link the project.** In the project folder:

```bash

Pick the workspace, or create one. The picker needs an interactive terminal, so it does not run from Claude Code's `!` prompt or a script. There, list the workspaces with `altimate-code workspace list` and link with `altimate-code link --workspace <id or name>`, or create one with `altimate-code link --create`. Moving a linked project to a different workspace also needs `--yes`. Claude can run these for you: ask it to link the project to a workspace.
