also getting this, also on windows. Docs say compatible with bash shell and zsh, no cmd mentioned. Seems windows users incl. me are locked out of using it
Install git.
Add git's folder to your PATH variable.
Type git-bash
If you're not familiar with bash's command structure, navigate to the folder you want to use (like in their original instructions) before launching git-bash.
Inside git-bash's launched terminal type claude.
The opening screen doesn't say to press a key/enter to continue, thought it legit froze.
The git-bash aspect for windows should probably be somewhere in their getting started guide.
I had the same issue, except that I had git bash installed a long time ago and running claude didn't do anything. Turned out I needed to update. I just installed the latest git for windows and the problem was solved.
Definitely when starting it from git-bash it starts but now the problem is::

Had the same issue. Install Git for Windows and use the Git Bash and it works just fine
