2. Switch to the domestic MiniMax M2.5 model (the most stable setup flow)
Official subscriptions carry a high ban risk — MiniMax M2.5 (minimax2.5) has strong coding ability, is cheap, and is more than enough. Right now, the most stable domestic model for Claude Code is MiniMax M2.5.
Step 1: Get a MiniMax API Key
Go to the MiniMax official site, register and log in → Personal Center → API Keys page, click to create an API Key.
New users get trial credit. After subscribing to a Coding Plan, you can reset a dedicated Key.
Step 2: Install the cc-switch visual management tool
We recommend this visual tool for one-click config management — no manual file editing.
Visit the official site and download the installer for your system.
Step 3: Add the MiniMax M2.5 configuration
Launch cc-switch → click the "+" in the top-right corner → choose the MiniMax provider preset → fill in your API Key.
Step 4: Configure the model name
Change all model names to MiniMax-M2.5, then click "Add" in the bottom-right corner.
Step 5: Enable the configuration
Back on the home page, click "Enable".
Step 6: Skip the new-version verification
Create or edit the .claude.json file (Windows: user directory/.claude.json) and write the following to skip verification:
{
"skipVerification": true
}

4. Beginner FAQ (fix all Claude Code errors)
Q: Installation reports "command not found: node"
→ Node.js isn't installed. Go to nodejs.org and install the latest version.
Q: It keeps loading/spinning after launch
→ Check your network (VPN/proxy), verify the API Key in cc-switch is correct, and confirm the model is enabled.
Q: The reply stops mid-way
→ Type /compact to compress the context, or /clear to start over.
Q: I changed the wrong file — how do I undo?
→ Use Git: git diff to review and git checkout -- filename to revert. Back up important projects first.
