How to Fix env: node: No such file or directory

[advix13]

I have Node.js installed system-wide and it works perfectly in my terminal (node --version shows v24.1.0), but Claudia keeps showing "env: node: No such file or directory" on all projects. I've tried adding both the PATH environment variable and the direct node location in Claudia's settings, restarted the app multiple times, but the issue persists. Currently can't work on any project through Claudia. Any suggestions to fix this?

Yes, I managed to have that solved by running the executable from the terminal. So, given that you have successfully compiled and moved Claudia to /Applications, open a terminal and run:

/Applications/Claudia.app/Contents/MacOS/claudia

Claudia will open and you will now see the current version of Claude used and you will be able to add MCP servers...

Thanks for the suggestion! Running /Applications/Claudia.app/Contents/MacOS/claudia from terminal did fix the "env: node: No such file or directory" error.
However, I'm now experiencing a new issue: the first command/input works perfectly and executes as expected, but when I give Claudia any follow-up command, it gets stuck and keeps spinning without responding. Endless spinning cant type another command till i stop it so it sends just the first massage when i run it from the terminal

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour when launching Claudia from terminal? It seems like there might be an issue with handling subsequent commands in this mode.

Yes Im dealing with that now myself.

Fix for "env: node: No such file or directory" Here : #69

This fix does resolve the "env: node: No such file or directory" error, but it creates a new problem: I can only send one command/prompt successfully. After the first message executes properly, any follow-up commands get stuck in an infinite spinning loop and no more messages can be sent. any idea how to fix it been stuck after one message being sent

Having the same issue and experiencing the same behavior with the fix provided above, where, after the first prompt, it spins with no resolution. I'm on a MacBook Pro with Apple silicon and Node in Homebrew.

I downloaded latest version today and this still happens. Is the only fix to launch from terminal?
