A working install of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI for IBM POWER8 (ppc64le) Linux. Verified on an IBM Power System S824 (dual 8-core POWER8, 128 SMT threads, 512 GB RAM, Ubuntu 20.04) with a self-built Node.js v22.22.2. --- ⚠️ Version ceiling: v2.1.112 Starting in v2.1.113 , @anthropic-ai/claude-code migrated to per-platform SEA (Single Executable Application) binaries distributed as optionalDependencies : - @anthropic-ai/claude-code-linux-x64 - @anthropic-ai/claude-code-linux-arm64 - @anthropic-ai/claude-code-darwin-{arm64,x64} - @anthropic-ai/claude-code-win32-{arm64,x64} No @anthropic-ai/claude-code-linux-ppc64le binary exists.
