[BUG] claude install removes claude binary #21061
Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
Yeah, I searched the existing issues. But you have over 5000 issues, I'm not claude. I searched, I'm sure there's one in there somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
So here's my bug report:
❯ npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
added 3 packages in 998ms
2 packages are looking for funding
run `npm fund` for details
❯ which claude
/home/dustin/.local/bin/claude
❯ claude install
✔ Claude Code successfully installed!
Version: 2.1.19
Location: ~/.local/bin/claude
Next: Run claude --help to get started
❯ which claude
claude not found
❯ ls ~/.local/bin/claude
ls: cannot access '/home/dustin/.local/bin/claude': No such file or directoryArch linux btw. The binary is not in the location the output says it's in. It could be somewhere else on my drive, but it's not anywhere on my $PATH.
What Should Happen?
Oh come on...
