Installing on Ubuntu 24.04
This was reasonably painless. Goto here. When installing the instructions are
git clone https://github.com/aaddrick/claude-desktop-debian.git
cd claude-desktop-debian
# Build the package
sudo ./build-deb.sh
sudo dpkg -i ./build/electron-app/claude-desktop_0.8.0_amd64.deb
This all goes well except the version of claude is now 0.8.1 and the script in the repository is 0.8.0. Search and replace the build-deb.sh and then it fails to launch because of sandbox issues which can be fixed, in my case, with
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox
