## Prerequisites
Before using Claude CLI, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

- Rust installed on your system.
- API key from [Anthropic](https://anthropic.com/) (stored in the `CLAUDE_API_KEY` environment variable): `export CLAUDE_API_KEY=<api-key>`

## Installation
To use Claude CLI, clone the repository and build the project using the following command:

fn print_hello_world() {
    println!("Hello, World!");
}
'''
