claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix update issue wit intel macs [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by installing an Intel-based compiled version of Claude, as the current installation process installs an M1 process version that is incompatible with Intel-based Macs.

Guidance

• Verify the architecture of the Mac to ensure it is an Intel-based Mac, as the issue only applies to non-M1 Macs.
• Check if there is an available Intel-based compiled version of Claude that can be installed manually.
• Consider reaching out to the developers or maintainers of Claude to request an Intel-based compiled version or a universal binary that supports both Intel and M1 architectures.
• If a compatible version is available, follow the installation instructions provided to install the correct version.

Notes

The issue is specific to Intel-based Macs running Darwin, and the solution may not apply to M1-based Macs or other platforms.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Install an Intel-based compiled version of Claude, as it is still being used on Intel Macs and there is no clear indication of an updated version that supports both architectures.
