r/ClaudeAI on Reddit: Claude Code's native installer is now generally available.
October 31, 2025 -
Claude Code’s native installer is now generally available, and we recommend it as the default installation method for all new Claude Code users.
Installation script: brew install --cask claude-code
The native installer uses Homebrew rather than npm. It’s an improvement over the previous installer in a few ways:
Installing Claude Code no longer requires Node.js to be installed
The auto-updater has improved stability
It is a single, self-contained executable
We also recommend existing users migrate their installations to the new installer using claude install.
Close all open Claude Code sessions
Run
claude installin your terminalFor users running Alpine Linux, they should follow the full installation instructions for migration: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/setup#native-binary-installation-beta
