[Bug] Multiple Claude installations conflict at ~/.local/bin/claude

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 3, 2026 by cameron-tabula Closed Jul 8, 2026

Bug Description
My /doctor says that there are multiple installations (npm global and native), but they are both ~/.local/bin/claude. I had previously npm removed it (npm -g uninstall @anthropic-ai/claude-code, resulting in no claude anywhere) and reinstalled native Claude fresh via curl-bash.

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