fix-claude-path

A one-shot shell script that fixes the command not found: claude error after installing Claude Code on macOS.

The problem

After installing Claude Code, your terminal may not find the claude command because the install directory isn't in your PATH. This happens when your shell config (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) doesn't include the directory where claude was installed.

The fix

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rsg9999/fix-claude-path/main/fix-claude-path.sh | sh
source ~/.zshrc  # or source ~/.bashrc if you use bash

Or clone and run locally:

git clone https://github.com/rsg9999/fix-claude-path.git
cd fix-claude-path
sh fix-claude-path.sh
source ~/.zshrc

What it does

1. Searches common install locations (~/.local/bin, /usr/local/bin, /opt/homebrew/bin) for the claude binary
2. Detects your shell (zsh or bash)
3. Appends the correct export PATH=... line to your shell config if it isn't already there
4. Tells you to source your config to apply the change immediately

Requirements

• macOS
• Claude Code already installed (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | sh)
• zsh or bash
