I’m trying to install Claude Code on my laptop running Ubuntu 22.04 using the official command from the Claude Code Setup Guide: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash The Issue: The command just hangs indefinitely. There’s no terminal output, no error message, and no progress even after waiting for hours. I’m using zsh as my default shell. What I’ve tried so far: Running the command with sudo (though the docs say it isn’t required). Checking for any hidden .claude directories to clear out. Has anyone else encountered this “silent hang” during the native install? Are there specific dependencies for Ubuntu 22.04 that I might be missing, or is there a better way to debug the script while it’s running? submitted by /u/Prize-Plenty-5190
