Here’s a preview of what you can expect with the latest release, Local "Lightning!

- 5-minute install
- Open Local instantly
- Available on Mac, Windows, and Linux
- Fewer bugs, more reliability!

**If you already use Local**

Because the architecture of Local “Lightning” is so much different than the previous version, you’ll need to download the new Local app from the site.

This [help doc](https://localbyflywheel.com/help-docs/migrating-from-local-by-flywheel-to-local-lightning/) will walk you through the migration process to move any existing Local sites to Local “Lightning.” \> [https://localbyflywheel.com/help-docs/migrating-from-local-by-flywheel-to-local-lightning/](https://localbyflywheel.com/help-docs/migrating-from-local-by-flywheel-to-local-lightning/)
