I have the same issue, thank you for opening this.
Thanks for this report. The option to migrate the installer is coming soon, but it is not meant to be available yet. I'll fix this message today.
Fixed in the latest. Restart to update and thanks for the report.

Awesome - thank you!
Mine works now but it's still mentioning
/migrate-installerwhich isn't an option in 0.2.53 either<img width="823" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b5ea57f0-28f7-4f3f-a938-f4ea04e5e430" />
If you're curious, as of 0.2.56 you can try
claude migrate-installerand that will change your install from the global npm location to a local one. Any problems, please report them in a new issue.
