Claude Code Local adds Windows and Linux support

The open-source project Claude Code Local announced on October 29 that it now supports Windows and Linux; until then it had only run on Apple Silicon Macs. The project lets users run Claude Code on their own machines, keeping code and prompts on the local computer rather than sending them elsewhere. Its GitHub repository had already collected more than 3,390 stars.

The platform expansion traces back to a request filed in the project's GitHub repository. Back in August, a user opened issue #53 on claude-code-local asking for a Windows version. They were working on an HP laptop with 32 GB of RAM, but the installer refused to run because it only supported Apple Silicon. The maintainer explained at the time that the entire server was built natively on MLX, MLX does not exist on Windows, and the RAM was more than sufficient, so the chip was the only blocker. The maintainer said that if anyone ported the project to llama.cpp they would link to it, and nine days later closed the issue as Mac only. On October 29 the maintainer returned to that thread and published the new platform support, which is the latest step the available material records.
