Related: Claude code support for #freebsd doesn’t exist either.

Every discussion on this veers off from “llms suck so …or I don’t need llm” but misses: users should have the ability to make their own opinion based on use.

@sgharms The lack of #bun is a potential issue here. #npm is dependency heavy and a possible #softwaresupplychain risk. According to #Wikipedia, the author joined #Anthropic from 2025-12-02: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun

@bms48 @sgharms Claude code seems to work fine for me on FreeBSD, without any tweaking. It also (sporadically) works with Ollama as a backend.

@aesthetikx @bms48 I noticed that when it starts up, the system message at the bottom now basically says that the NPM install approach has been deprecated on all of their platforms. (Mac, Linux, windows).

This would make FreeBSD a second class citizen. Obviously, people have different feelings about whether that’s a good thing or not. I think it’s to the negative.
