# Claude Desktop for Linux
This project provides build scripts to run Claude Desktop natively on Linux systems. It repackages the official Windows application for Linux distributions, producing `.deb` packages (Debian/Ubuntu), `.rpm` packages (Fedora/RHEL), distribution-agnostic AppImages, and an [AUR package](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claude-desktop-appimage) for Arch Linux.

nix profile install github:aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian
# With MCP server support (FHS environment)
nix profile install github:aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian#claude-desktop-fhs

Or add to your NixOS configuration:
```nix
# flake.nix
{
inputs.claude-desktop.url = "github:aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian";
outputs = { nixpkgs, claude-desktop, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.myhost = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {

({ pkgs, ... }: {
nixpkgs.overlays = [ claude-desktop.overlays.default ];
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.claude-desktop ];
})
