Claude Desktop on Linux (beta) - Claude Code Docs
Install and update the Claude desktop app on Ubuntu and Debiancode.claude.com
1) Add Anthropic's apt repository and install with apt
Code:sudo apt install curl sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/claude-desktop-archive-keyring.asc https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-desktop/key.asc echo "deb [arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/claude-desktop-archive-keyring.asc] https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-desktop/apt/stable stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/claude-desktop.list sudo apt update && sudo apt install claude-desktop
which should be possible in a ubuntu podman container
2) or using curl to download a deb file
Code:curl -fLO "https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-desktop/apt/stable/$(curl -s "https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-desktop/apt/stable/dists/stable/main/binary-$(dpkg --print-architecture)/Packages" | grep '^Filename: pool/main/c/claude-desktop/claude-desktop_' | sort -V | tail -n 1 | cut -d' ' -f2)"
wow looks like they got claude to write that code
and then install the deb
Code:sudo apt install ./claude-desktop_*.deb
Thanks bro. I tried that way also. Unfortunately one day my system freezes totally and I've lost some files. The reason is the instability of the Linuxulator. In dmesg I seen a lot of repeated errors ; It crashed and ciaone.
