r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Can someone help me actually install Code and get it working in VS Code?
August 29, 2025 -

I'd really like to get Claude Code working in VS Code on Mac. I'm not very familiar with this kind of stuff.

I've now tried installing it on 3 different Macs, and haven't gotten it working until this afternoon -

I was finally able to get it to install properly (I think) using

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

Claude Code launched ONCE from Terminal, so then I tried following Anthropic's steps to get it going in VS Code,

(Run claude - the extension will auto-install)|
but ... "bash: claude: command not found".

I just wanted to try launching it again from Terminal, and now I get:

"The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.
For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050."

huh?

If I try running Code from Terminal again...

"-bash: claude: command not found"

???

So - absolutely no clue what's going on. Thought the third time might be a charm, and at least I was able to launch it once... :)

Any help appreciated.
