What's Wrong?

I tried to install claude on my Ubuntu desktop using the recommended command
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash

Unfortunately, this command hangs indefinitely.

Looking into the script it states DOWNLOAD_BASE_URL="https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases"

This URL just returns an error message

curl https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases`

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><Error><Code>NoSuchKey</Code><Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message></Error>

What Should Happen?

The installer should happily download and install claude.

Error Messages/Logs
