The Official Claude Desktop Beta Has Arrived

For a long time, the ritual for Linux enthusiasts wanting to leverage Claude’s full power was clear: open a browser tab, or dive straight into a terminal wrapper. While community-built packages did an admirable job filling the void, a first-class, natively maintained desktop experience was the missing piece of the puzzle. That wait is officially over. Anthropic has formally released the Claude Desktop App Beta for Linux, bringing a cohesive ecosystem directly to your workstation. The Linux release is a mirror image of the robust desktop architecture available on macOS and Windows, bringing three foundational workspaces under a single native roof: The familiar, polished conversation interface for day-to-day inquiries and rapid brainstorming. A background agent designed to run complex, long-running workflows (like research synthesis and multi-file organization) within a secure environment, leaving you free to focus on other tasks.

Install Tokio runtime


  1. Ensure Rust is Installed
    If you haven't installed Rust yet, make sure to do so using rustup:

    winget install -e --id Rustlang.Rustup
    
  2. Create a New Rust Project
    If you're starting fresh, create a new Rust project:

    cargo new my_project
    cd my_project
    
  3. Add Tokio as a Dependency
    Open the Cargo.toml file in your project and add Tokio:

    [dependencies]
    tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
    

    Alternatively, you can run:

    cargo add tokio --features full
    
  4. Write a Basic Tokio Application
    Now, create a simple async function in main.rs:

    use tokio::time::{sleep, Duration};
    
    #[tokio::main]
    async fn main() {
        println!("Hello, Tokio!");
        sleep(Duration::from_secs(2)).await;
        println!("Done!");
    }
    
  5. Build and Run
    Compile and execute your program:

    cargo run
