What's Wrong?

What Should Happen?

Claude code should successfully start and be able to correctly run,

uninstalling claude code and clearing the local files via

rm -f ~/.local/bin/claude
rm -rf ~/.local/share/claude

and then installing again using npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code fixes this
