content: hi claude, can you tell me whats this about?    ⚠ Leftover npm global installation at /home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude

text:
This warning means there's an old globally-installed copy of Claude Code (via `npm install -g`) at `/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude`, and it may conflict with or shadow the current installation you're actually using.

Let me check what's there:


Bash

command: ls -la /home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude 2>/dev/null; echo "---"; which claude; echo "---"; file /home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude 2>/dev/null

---
/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude
---
/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude: symbolic link to /home/ubuntu/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.78


text:
It's a symlink pointing to version 2.1.78 at `/home/ubuntu/.local/share/claude/versions/`. This is actually the **current** installation method (the standalone installer), not an npm leftover. The warning might be stale or referring to a previous npm-based install that was in the same path.

You can safely ignore it — or if you previously had an npm global install (`npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`), you could clean it up with:

```bash
npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```

But since the symlink is actually pointing to the standalone installer's version, it's likely just a cosmetic warning. Your Claude Code is working fine from that path.

text: Good point — let me check.


command: npm list -g --depth=0 2>/dev/null | grep -i claude; echo "---"; ls -la /usr/lib/node_modules/ 2>/dev/null | grep claude; echo "---"; ls -la /home/ubuntu/.local/lib/node_modules/ 2>/dev/null | grep claude

returnCodeInterpretation: No matches found


text:
No npm global `claude` package found, and OpenClaw doesn't bundle it as a dependency either. The `/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude` symlink is just the standalone installer — it's what **you're using right now** to talk to me.

The warning is likely just Claude Code's updater detecting a path that *could* be from an old npm install but is actually its own standalone installation. Nothing to worry about, and OpenClaw isn't involved — it runs its own gateway on port 18789 independently.
