Install and first run

• A paid Claude plan (Pro or higher) and Claude Code. Install Claude Code from Anthropic's own instructions.
• Node.js 20 or newer.
• FFmpeg, which encodes the reels.
• Optional: Python 3.10 or newer, only for buyer-voice scoring and voiceover reels.
• An internet connection for setup, research and reels. Carousels render offline.

Check the system requirements first. Tested on Windows; Mac is not tested yet.

1. Download

   After purchase, download the zip from your Whop library and unzip it somewhere you can find it. In version 1.0 the folder inside the zip is still named ccf-content-creation-factory; that is the same product.

2. Open the folder in Claude Code

   In a terminal, go to the unzipped folder and run claude.

3. Run setup

   Run npm run setup, or just ask Claude to set up the engine. Setup installs the renderer and its browser, the video skills, and runs a system check. Approve each command Claude asks to run.

4. Verify a niche

   Type something like verify the fitness coach niche. The result is a readable verdict file in data/.

5. Scout and plan

   Ask for ideas: scout 20 ideas for faceless theme pages. Each idea becomes a plan with a carousel, two reels and captions.

6. Render

   Ask for posts: make posts for the first 5 ideas in studio-pop style. Files land in output/<niche>/<id>/.

7. Post them yourself

   Upload the PNGs and MP4s, or drop them into your scheduler. The engine does not post.

Most problems are setup problems: Node.js, FFmpeg or Claude Code not installed or not on the path. START-HERE.pdf covers each. If you are stuck, email us with the error text. If it still does not work, the 7-day refund applies.
