What's Wrong?
Installed claude code native: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash. When launching claude I get:
[1] 45596 illegal hardware instruction claude
Switching to the deprecated node build solved the problem but I want the native for /fast mode.
- Version: 2.1.39
- OS: 15.3.1 (24D70), Apple M4 Pro, 48 GB | Version 15.3.1 (24D70)
- shell: zsh
Looks like this was previously happening in some capacity and fixed but now it is not working again for me: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/19907

Should be able to launch claude
