## Required Configuration
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
Task Master requires an Anthropic API key to function. Add this to your `.env` file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-your-api-key
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can obtain an API key from the [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/).

## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### If `task-master init` doesn't respond:
|
|
|
|
Try running it with Node directly:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node node_modules/claude-task-master/scripts/init.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or clone the repository and run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master.git
|
|
cd claude-task-master
|
|
node scripts/init.js
|
|
```
