Download Studio for Windows As a reminder, we've built Studio to be the fastest and simplest way to build WordPress sites locally. A new default local WordPress development environment In less than one month, Studio has thousands of active users, and those users have created hundreds of demo sites. Plus, since Studio is open source, we've received and merged bug fixes and enhancements from community users over on GitHub. It has been so exciting to see the WordPress community embrace a better local development setup with Studio: Last week I streamed creating a To-do app with the Interactivity API and I tried Studio by @wordpressdotcom. Not only was it rock solid, but it has this REALLY COOL feature to host your local site. — Ryan Welcher (@ryanwelcher) April 29, 2024 Wow! Local WordPress development 2.0 - install, work, and go straight into Visual Studio if you need to. Mac for now, but a Windows version is on its way. 😍 PS Studio is open source, it can be forked. https://t.co/k5jaklVHIx — Anne Bovelett (@Bovelett) April 24, 2024 Of course, we knew that a Windows version of Studio was also needed, as over 25% of WordPress developers develop on a Windows machine. We worked on a Windows version alongside the Mac version, but the Windows version required us to solve some additional challenges before making it widely available.  Plus, developers started requesting it immediately: Comments on our Studio announcement video Download Studio for Windows for free today Our free Windows version of Studio is now available, and you can get up and running with a local site on your Windows computer in just a few clicks: Download Studio for Windows.
