Windows developers leveraging the new Claude Code CLI research preview often hit a wall immediately after installation. When running the tool inside the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2), two specific blockers arise: EACCES permission errors during the global npm install, and a runtime crash stating "Sandbox requires socat" or missing bubblewrap dependencies. These errors occur because standard WSL Ubuntu distributions are minimized environments lacking specific networking utilities and process isolation tools that Claude Code relies on for safe execution. This guide provides the root cause analysis and the exact commands to stabilize the environment.

Claude Code is not just a text generator; it is an agent capability that executes terminal commands and modifies files. To prevent the agent from accidentally damaging your host syst...
