Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude --version, on Error reference. * Run `claude --version`, then `claude update`, and run the command again in a fresh session. See the [requirements for plugin evals](/docs/en/plugin-evals#requirements) errors see the edit
