As the first line suggests, this is an electron app designed to be a dedicated place to use the chatgpt web interface.

This containerization approach has several benefits:

1. You have a dedicated window for talking to chatgpt, which can be more handy
2. This, being an electron app, is using chromium and looks like an average browser for the openai website -- you get less captchas
3. If you are using an amnesic browser you do not need to relogin every time you want to use it

The preferred way of installing this is using package managers, but if you do not wish to do it that way, skip ahead to Build from source section.

This app is distributed on Flathub, meaning that you can install it using the flatpak package manager by running this command, even as an unprivleged user:

flatpak install io.github.anirbandey1.ChatbotClient

git clone https://github.com/soufrabi/chatbot-client.git
cd chatbot-client
./scripts/linux.sh setup
./scripts/linux.sh build-deb
cd build_binary
sudo apt install ./chatbot-client.deb
