# No local components on edge devices

Prompt:
`Once the web service is developed with this technologies, what would need to be installed on MacOS and Windows edge devices to use this service?


For your web service using WeWeb (front end) and Supabase with Deno-powered Edge Functions (back end), **no special software needs to be installed on MacOS or Windows edge devices** (such as end-user computers or tablets) to use the service. Here’s why:

- **Web-Based Access:** The service is accessed via a web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, etc.), which is already installed on most devices[^2_1][^2_2].
- **No Local App Required:** Since WeWeb generates a standard web app and Supabase Edge Functions expose APIs over HTTPS, users simply need an internet connection and a modern browser.
- **Edge Functions Run in the Cloud:** The Deno runtime and your server-side logic are executed on Supabase’s infrastructure, not on the user’s device[^2_3].

**In summary:**

Users access your service through their browser—nothing needs to be installed on their MacOS or Windows devices beyond a standard web browser and internet connection.
