WSL Not Working

@NakiriYuuzu what WSL distro are you running? Also what version of WSL are you on?

@NakiriYuuzu what WSL distro are you running? Also what version of WSL are you on?

Windows 11 - 24H2
WSL[2.3.26] - Ubuntu-24.04

Can you try running npm config set os linux and try again? Or if that doesn't work, try npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code --force --no-os-check?

@ashwin-ant installing using --no-os-check still throws this error while running the claude command:
AppData/Roaming/npm/claude: 15: exec: node: not found

Running WSL 2.4.11 on Win11, Ubuntu 22.04.3LTS

And the npm config set os linux option didn't work either, correct?

Can you also try running which npm and see if you get a Linux path (/usr/bin/npm or similar) or a Windows path (/mnt/c/...)? If it's a Windows path, you may need to install a Linux build of npm via nvm or apt-get.

I tried it on WSL, but the result was the same as yours. However, when I switched to PowerShell, it worked fine. So confused.

Yes, the npm path in WSL is set to the Windows path. You need to change it to the Linux path.
