What's Wrong or Missing?

Two problems with the install command shown on claude.ai/code:

1. The package name @anthropic/claude-cli is incorrect — it does not exist on npm and returns a 404 error when run.
2. npm installation is deprecated per the official README at github.com/anthropics/claude-code.

This causes confusion for new users who follow the instructions on the website and get an immediate 404 error.

Suggested Improvement

Replace the npm command with the recommended install methods from the official README:

macOS / Linux (Recommended)

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

macOS via Homebrew

brew install --cask claude-code

Windows (Recommended)

irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Windows via WinGet

winget install Anthropic.ClaudeCode
