Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up claude install, on CLI reference. | `claude install [version]` | Install or reinstall the native binary. Accepts a version like `2.1.118`, or `stable` or `latest`. See [Install a specific version](/docs/en/setup#install-a-specific-version) | `claude install stable` | cli-reference see the edit
