undefined | Better HN

I'm confused. I installed claude code with:

    npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

I thought claude code just used Nodejs? I didn't realise the recommended install used a different runtime.

They switched to recommending this as the installation method back in July:

  curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

That install script gives you a single binary which is created using Bun.

Maybe that's why I didn't have some bugs people were reporting on HN, or because I was using linux.
