Install ChatGPT (desktop app) on this machine. Follow these steps in order:

1. Detect my operating system and CPU architecture and tell me what you found.

2. Pick the install method for my OS:
   - macOS: Homebrew cask `chatgpt`. If Homebrew is not installed, tell me and ask whether I want it installed from https://brew.sh first — wait for my answer before touching Homebrew.
   - Windows: install from the Microsoft Store: `winget install --source msstore ChatGPT` (or via the Microsoft Store app).
   - Linux: this app does not support Linux — stop and tell me.

3. Check whether ChatGPT (desktop app) is already installed. If it is, tell me the installed version and ask whether I want to upgrade or leave it as is.

4. Before running anything, show me the exact commands you intend to run and what they will download and from where, then wait for my approval.

5. After my approval, run the install, then verify it worked by reporting the installed version (the app's About screen) and show me the output.

Do not change any of my settings unless I ask.

After installation, guide me through:
- Sign in to my OpenAI account — I'll handle credentials and 2FA myself
- Decide the launcher keyboard shortcut and whether it starts at login
- Review data controls (chat history and training preferences)

After install, your agent guides you through

  • Sign in to my OpenAI account — I'll handle credentials and 2FA myself

  • Review data controls (chat history and training preferences)

Guided steps — your agent walks you through them; sign-ins and permissions stay in your hands.
