Claude/Code/How To/Install

• Claude Code Installation

  • Claude Code now has a new native installer that is "much more stable and does not require Node.js," replacing the old npm-based global install.

  • Fresh Installation

    • You can install Claude Code fresh via:
      • Homebrew: brew install --cask claude-code
      • Install script: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

  • Upgrading from npm Installation

    • For existing npm users, the recommended way to switch to the native version is to run:
      • bash

        npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest
        claude --help | grep install
        claude install latest
