Once your organisation has a licence, Showreel Studio gives you access to two private repositories: the product itself and its Claude Code plugin marketplace. Make sure you have everything you need first.

Install the software

  1. Clone the product repository you were given access to, and go into its folder.
  2. Install it and put the showreel command on your path:
npm install && npm link
  1. Check it works:
showreel doctor

showreel doctor lists Node, ffmpeg, Chrome, gcloud, your sign-in and your licence, each with a tick or a note saying what to do. Anything about signing in or the licence is fixed in the next article.

Add the Claude Code plugin

The plugin gives Claude Code the skills that write, record and fix films. Add the marketplace you were given access to, then install the plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add <the marketplace address you were given>
claude plugin install showreel-studio@showreel

Update it later with:

claude plugin update showreel-studio

See Use it from Claude Code for what the skills do.
