[BUG] Installation creates FreeBSD-incompatible shebang in wrapper script
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
When installing claude-code via npm update on FreeBSD, the wrapper script at ~/.claude/local/claude is created with
#!/bin/bash, which doesn't exist on FreeBSD (bash is at /usr/local/bin/bash).
Expected: Use #!/usr/bin/env bash for cross-platform compatibility
Actual: Hardcoded #!/bin/bash
Version: 2.0.10
OS: FreeBSD 14.3
This breaks claude after running npm update @anthropic-ai/claude-code as recommended by claude doctor.
What Should Happen?
Expect claude to load, instead get bad interpreter: /bin/bash: no such file or directory
