Claude Code Gets a Desktop App: Installation on Windows ARM64 and Linux

⚡ The gist in 5 seconds - Official documentation for the Claude Code desktop version has been published. - Windows ARM64 gets a dedicated installer, Linux is installed via apt. - After installation, you need to launch Claude and sign in to your account. ### 🔍 What was found The documentation at code.claude.com/docs/ru/desktop describes the Claude Code desktop application. According to the material, Windows on ARM64 has its own ARM64 installer, while on Linux the app is installed via the apt package manager (with a link to the "Claude Desktop on Linux" page). The installation instructions boil down to three steps: choose the installer for your platform, install the app, then launch Claude and sign in. Additional details — system requirements, client version, or package size — are not provided in the published excerpt. ### 💡 Why it matters The arrival of an official desktop client for Windows ARM64 and Linux makes setting up Claude Code on these platforms easier. Owners of Windows ARM laptops and Linux developers no longer have to work around limitations via emulation or third-party solutions. Exact timelines and possible changes in the release branch are not specified on the page, but the mere documentation of the installers means the desktop version is no longer experimental.
