Arch Linux User Repository

@mkurz Great! They must have fixed this. Thanks for taking a look.

@cg505 when I remove the export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=... line this is what I get:

$ claude update
Current version: 2.1.69
Checking for updates to latest version...

Claude is managed by a package manager.
Please use your package manager to update.

Isn't this correct anyway?

Anyway, for me it does not matter if you keep export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=... or not, because I set NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX on my system anyway.

@mkurz You can try without. IIRC it would offer to automatically "update" you to use the native install which could break the install, and would incorrectly claim that you had installed claude via npm i -g.

Can someone explain to me from https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/PKGBUILD?h=claude-code&id=51cbedfef6f359e291127f96e372715044dd87bd why those lines actually are needed:

# Wrapper to prevent claude from detecting /usr/bin/claude as npm-global installation
export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX="${NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX:-/nonexistent}"

like what fails if they would be removed?

2.1.0 is blocked on this issue: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16673

I checked that the default installation script (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash) will download the stable version and then use it to install the latest version, lol

Updated the package to use latest instead of stable.

Sorry for the delay.

@cg505 When do you expect to get this sorted? This needs to be on latest, right away. Happy to help support this package, just let me know how I can help.

We should check if the CLI tries to use latest or stable by default, and do that. We can switch this package to latest easily if that makes more sense.

@cg505 Do we need a different package for the latest version? I expect this one to get flagged as outdated very often otherwise.
