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 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
