Got Claude Cowork running on Linux
Did a little tinkering with Anthropic's Claude Desktop Cowork yesterday to get it working on Linux.
Instructions are simple:
be on max $200 plan
grab the Mac binary from claude.ai
run the patch script
one sudo for a symlink
One-time sudo to create a system-level symlink; after that it runs as a normal user. Some minor display glitches but it's snappy, actually a lot quicker than on real Mac hardware. Planning to add a few more enhancements.
Please contribute if you use it!
This GitHub repository enables running the Cowork feature of the macOS-only Claude Desktop on Linux through reverse engineering and native module stubbing. It involves platform spoofing, bypassing platform gates, implementing a Swift addon stub, and direct execution of the binary. The project includes security hardening measures.
