[BUG] Cannot launch Claude Code

What's Wrong?
The jetbrains plugin on IntelliJ cannot launch claude code on /var/home/ge-org/.local/bin/claude.
I tried to set the absolute path and still I cannot do it. It works in the same terminal inside intellij by just typing claude so there's no issue launching manually.
I'm using an immutable linux distro called Aurora Linux.
What Should Happen?
The plugin should launch claude code
