​
One-line install

curl -fsSL https://reclaude.ai/install.sh | bash
The script will:
  • Detect your OS and CPU architecture (amd64 / arm64, including macOS Rosetta 2).
  • Download the matching binary, verify SHA256, and place it on your PATH.
  • Install the official Claude Code CLI for you if it’s not already on the system.
After installing, open a new terminal so PATH refreshes. Verify with reclaude version.

​
Windows notes

  • Use a normal PowerShell window, don’t “Run as administrator”. The installer writes to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\reclaude\bin (under your user home); admin PowerShell uses a separate PATH from your daily shell and will leave the reclaude command unreachable.
  • A 64-bit PowerShell is required. The script self-checks and exits if it detects 32-bit.
  • Antivirus / EDR false positives: the script verifies SHA256 on the download, but some corporate antivirus tools may block writes. If you see Access is denied, disable the relevant protection or whitelist %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\reclaude and retry.
  • Claude Desktop (MSIX channel) is auto-discovered by reclaude — no extra path config needed.

Common flags (macOS / Linux)

FlagWhat it does
--version <ver>Pin a specific version (default latest)
--no-install-claudeSkip the bundled Claude Code CLI install if you already have one
For example, pin to a specific version: 
curl -fsSL https://reclaude.ai/install.sh | bash -s -- --version v1.4.2

Manual download

If the script can’t run, grab the binary directly:
OSArchFile
macOSarm64reclaude-darwin-arm64
macOSamd64reclaude-darwin-amd64
Linuxarm64reclaude-linux-arm64
Linuxamd64reclaude-linux-amd64
Windowsamd64reclaude-windows-amd64.exe
URL pattern: https://dl.reclaude.ai/latest/<filename>. After downloading, mark it executable and put it on your PATH, then run reclaude setup to copy it into the standard location.

​
IDE extension setup

If you use the official Claude Code IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains, etc.), configure the extension to launch Claude through reclaude. Otherwise, requests bypass reclaude and go straight to Anthropic.
  1. Open the extension settings (VS Code: Ctrl/Cmd + , → search Claude Process Wrapper; JetBrains: Settings → Tools → Claude Code).
  2. Find Claude Code: Claude Process Wrapper (description: Executable path used to launch the Claude process).
  3. Set the executable path to reclaude and save.

  4. Restart the IDE so the setting takes effect.
Once configured, the IDE extension launches Claude through reclaude, and your account, device, and quota follow whichever reclaude account you’re signed into.
This is a built-in setting on the official Claude Code extension — no extra plugins required.
