Develop Locally on Linux with WordPress Studio

By Rahul Gavande on June 11, 2026

The WordPress Studio desktop app is now available for Linux, starting with Ubuntu. If you’ve been building with our Studio CLI on Linux, the desktop app now joins it.

Studio is the fastest way to spin up a real WordPress site on your own computer. No Apache config. No Docker. No “it works on my machine.” Just click Add site, and a few seconds later you’ve got a working WordPress install ready to build on, connected to your favorite editor, and shareable with collaborators through a one-click preview link.

And it’s free and open source.

Download Studio for Linux

A UI for local WordPress development on Linux

Studio on Linux has the same features developers already rely on to build sites, plugins, and themes:

Instant local WordPress sites with no servers to configure
Custom domains and HTTPS for your local sites, so you can develop against realistic URLs
One-click preview links to share your work-in-progress with clients, teammates, or testers
Two-way sync with WordPress.com, so you can pull a production or staging site to your laptop and push changes back when you’re ready
Open in your favorite editor — VS Code, PhpStorm, Sublime, and others, detected automatically
A built-in assistant to help you write code, make changes, and debug

The Linux version of the WordPress Studio interface

Built for the way Linux developers work

WordPress powers a huge slice of the open web, and Linux powers the servers that most of the web runs on — the tool you use to build WordPress sites locally should run there, too.

The CLI version of Studio has been on Linux for a few weeks; now the desktop experience matches what macOS and Windows users have relied on for years.

How to get Studio on Linux

Studio for Linux is available to download today. Head over to the Studio download page, grab the Linux build, and you’ll be up and running on Ubuntu in a few minutes.

We’re continuing to polish the Linux experience, and auto-updates, broader distro support, and more packaging options are on the way. The more we hear from you, the faster we’ll get there. Try it out and share feedback on GitHub.
