Fix Action

Workaround

Passing the version explicitly to the install script works:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- 2.1.116

This bypasses the version resolution and installs 2.1.116 correctly.

Code Example

Current version: 2.1.104
   Checking for updates to stable version...
   Claude Code is up to date (2.1.104)

---

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

---

Setting up Claude Code...
   ✔ Claude Code successfully installed!
     Version: 2.1.104

---

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- 2.1.116

Bug Description

claude update and the install script (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash) both resolve the latest stable version as 2.1.104, while the changelog shows 2.1.116 as the latest release.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run claude update:

    Current version: 2.1.104
Checking for updates to stable version...
Claude Code is up to date (2.1.104)

  2. Re-install via the install script:

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

    Output:

    Setting up Claude Code...
✔ Claude Code successfully installed!
  Version: 2.1.104

  3. Both report 2.1.104 as latest, but https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog shows 2.1.116.

Workaround

Passing the version explicitly to the install script works:

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- 2.1.116

This bypasses the version resolution and installs 2.1.116 correctly.

Expected Behavior

claude update and the install script should resolve to 2.1.116 (or whatever the actual latest stable release is).

Environment

  • Platform: macOS (Apple Silicon)
  • Installation method: Native binary via install.sh
  • Current version: 2.1.104 (reports as up-to-date)
  • Actual latest: 2.1.116

extent analysis

TL;DR

Passing the version explicitly to the install script can bypass the incorrect version resolution and install the latest version.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be related to the version resolution mechanism in claude update and the install script, which is not correctly identifying the latest stable version.
  • To verify the issue, check the changelog at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog to confirm the latest release version.
  • As a workaround, use the install script with the version explicitly specified, like curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- 2.1.116, to install the desired version.
  • It's unclear what causes the version resolution to fail, so monitoring the changelog and using the explicit version install method may be necessary until the root cause is addressed.

Example

curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- 2.1.116

This command installs version 2.1.116, bypassing the incorrect version resolution.

Notes

The provided workaround relies on manually checking the changelog for the latest version and specifying it during installation. This may not be a long-term solution and does not address the underlying issue with the version resolution mechanism.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by using the install script with the explicit version, as it allows for installing the latest version despite the resolution issue.
