Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Jan 11, 2026 by sasojadrovski Closed Feb 28, 2026
Description
The macOS native installer (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash) installs version 2.1.2, and claude update reports it as up-to-date, even though 2.1.3 was released ~2 days ago and 2.1.4 was released today.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash - Run
claude --version→ shows 2.1.2 - Run
claude update→ reports "Claude Code is up to date (2.1.2)"
Expected Behavior
The native installer should install the latest version (2.1.4), or at minimum claude update should detect and install newer versions.
Actual Behavior
- Fresh install via native installer gives 2.1.2
claude updatedoes not detect 2.1.3 or 2.1.4
Environment
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
- Installation method: Native (
~/.local/bin/claude) - Current version: 2.1.2
- Available versions: 2.1.3 (Jan 9), 2.1.4 (Jan 11)
Additional Context
- npm shows 2.1.4 as latest (installing via npm works as a workaround)
