It depends on your company’s IT and security policies, so we recommend you check with your IT team first, or better still, use a personal computer.
Pro needs Claude Code and a GitHub account, and you’ll install several programs on your computer. Ship itself is a set of files and programs that you download from GitHub to your computer, then keep up to date in your own GitHub account.
You’ll get the most from the course on a computer where you can install whatever you like, so you can experiment freely rather than working within your company’s IT security policies.
Starting on your own computer also lets you build a working example of what Ship can do for you. You can then take that example to your IT team when you ask about using Ship at work, so they can see what they’re being asked to approve.
