So I busted out an old laptop and installed headless ubuntu minimal (I like to start small) so that I can start setting up some autonomous agents. My first step was to install Claude Code so that it could setup everything else for me, but after a few hours at it, both Claude and I admit that Claude Code is broken on a headless install. We tried a bunch a different way to get it to take a damn key, but the installer insists on an OAUTH auth that requires a browser.

I have a dislike for anything on linux that requires a GUI. But installing OpenBox now.

I've had success using either lynx or links to facilitate OAUTH authentication for apps in the past. (Terminal only, no GUI).

@mike @claudeai I thought about going that path, but since this is a laptop, not installing a GUI was a preference, not a requirement. Just pisses me off to lose a few hours using Claude AI to help me install Claude Code, and it's a shit show.

Yeah but lynx and links are TUIs, not GUIs.
