What's Wrong?
The npm installer up to now has worked fine on OpenBSD and I'm using claude daily on this platform. The claude update to 2.1.113 leads to the following console output:
$ claude
Error: claude native binary not installed.
Either postinstall did not run (--ignore-scripts, some pnpm configs)
or the platform-native optional dependency was not downloaded
(--omit=optional).
Run the postinstall manually (adjust path for local vs global install):
node node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/install.cjs
Or reinstall without --ignore-scripts / --omit=optional.
I'm now going back to $ npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.112, which works perfectly fine.
What Should Happen?
claude should start
