Claude installation on Linux CLI next steps

Current Documentation

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
Setting up Claude Code...

✔ Claude Code successfully installed!

  Version: 2.1.49

  Location: ~/.local/bin/claude


  Next: Run claude --help to get started

⚠ Setup notes:
  • Native installation exists but ~/.local/bin is not in your PATH. Run:

  echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc


✅ Installation complete!

What's Wrong or Missing?

Currently the curl bash install says to "Next: Run claude --help" before it tells you to perform the export path echo.

Suggested Improvement

This is truly a very minor order of operations/semantics issue. It should say that part about the export path before it tells you to run claude.

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature
