Hello @mcgav - welcome to the Local community! 👋

Local is available to use for any Local WordPress development, it does not have to be connected to a Flywheel or WP Engine hosted site.

That error “Missing host entry” is often associated with an antivirus setting with your computer.

Let me know if that helps!

yeah its something to do with the hosts file. My Laptop doesnt have a host file (view hidden files). So I tried with my windows tablet (same antivirus - ESET) and it worked first time no issues…  
I dont understand where the difference is??
