Claude Code, a tool developed by Anthropic, has updated its installation process, largely removing the need for a specific Node.js version. While older installation methods and documentation may still reference Node.js requirements, the recommended native installer now includes a self-contained binary that does not interact with the system's Node.js environment. For users who still opt for the npm installation path, Node.js version 22 or later is now required, though the Node.js dependency is only for the installation phase and not for runtime. AI
