# Claude Code & Homebrew

I use Claude Code at work. Like everything else, I try to install it using Homebrew. There was a feature of Claude Code I wanted and Homebrew seemed to not have the version that supported it yet. I did a little looking and that's when I learned:

> Homebrew offers two casks. `claude-code` tracks the stable release channel, which is typically about a week behind and skips releases with major regressions. `claude-code@latest` tracks the latest channel and receives new versions as soon as they ship.
> 
> [https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview#homebrew](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview#homebrew)

So, I uninstalled `claude-code` and installed `cloud-code@latest` and I got the latest version!

There's another important note on that page:

> Homebrew installations do not auto-update. Run `brew upgrade claude-code` or `brew upgrade claude-code@latest`, depending on which cask you installed, to get the latest features and security fixes.
