[BUG] Cannot open or use claude after last update (0.2.119)

same thing happens on normal PC

I tried some quick investigating at the npm global log level but saw nothing.

Current known fix (May 18): Uninstall and reinstall last known working version

npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@0.2.118

I get the same behavior on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS running under WSL.

Looking. Please downgrade for now.

Claude Code can not be launched after last update. Issue on Ubuntu22.04, 24.04 and MacBook Air M3.

Update: fix deploying

But thank you so much! What a turnaround 🙌

Amazing! Thanks all, and sorry for the breakage. Going to sleep, then going to think about how we can make sure this doesn't happen again.

Environment:

• Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
• Claude CLI Version: 0.2.120
• Terminal: Bash

Issue Description:
After uninstalling and reinstalling claude-code as per the suggestions in issue #1158, invoking the claude command yields no response—no output, no error messages, and no initiation of the Claude process.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Uninstall claude-code using npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
2. Reinstall using npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
3. Execute the command claude.

Expected Behavior:
The claude command should initiate the Claude CLI, providing an interactive prompt or executing the specified command.

Actual Behavior:
Executing claude results in no output or activity. There are no error messages, logs, or indications of any process initiation.

Additional Context:
While other users have reported successful resolutions following the steps in issue #1158, this issue persists in my environment.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Confirmed that claude is installed and accessible in the system PATH.
• Attempted running claude with --verbose and --debug flags; still no output.

Request for Assistance:
Any guidance or suggestions to further diagnose and resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

## Issue persists in v0.2.120 with specific environment

I wanted to report that I'm still experiencing the raw mode issue even after updating to v0.2.120.

### Environment details:

• macOS with tmux (with custom configuration)
• Node.js v20.10.0 (also tried v21.7.2)
• Terminal: Ghostty with tmux
• TERM=xterm-256color

Running any Claude CLI command (even claude --version) results in the same error about raw mode not being supported, or sometimes it just hangs with no output.

Published 0.2.120 -- can folks confirm that fixes it? May need to npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code to force an update.

Fixed
Removing claude alias did the trick

@CodingButterBot @dylan-conlin @codetalcott my hunch is NPM is still using 0.2.119 in your current terminal tab. Can you try:

$ npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
$ claude # verify that you get an error (if not, delete whatever `claude` points to)
$ npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# open a new terminal tab
