PATH Expansion Fails with Quoted Tilde in Installation Script

Resolved 💬 8 comments Opened Jul 25, 2025 by abrinsmead Closed Jan 7, 2026

Bug Description
The Claude Code binary version displays this tip when it can't find ~/.local/bin in path.

 ● ~/.local/bin is not in your PATH

 ● Add it by running: export PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH"

This will not work for users because the ~ is not expanded within quotes.

Consider removing the quotes or changing to ● Add it by running: export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
