Installation

Generate package

npm i
npm run package

This will create a folder (ie: out/chatgpt-electron-linux-x64) which contains the executable file for your system.

You can directly run out/chatgpt-electron-linux-x64/chatgpt-electron or you may want to use it in a "widget":

Use on Windows

1. Move the executable folder out/chatgpt-electron-win32-x64 anywhere you like it

2. Run chatgpt-electron.exe and enjoy!

Use on MacOS

1. Move the executable folder out/chatgpt-electron-darwin-arm64 anywhere you like it

2. Run chatgpt-electron.app and enjoy!

Use on Linux

1. Move the executable folder out/chatgpt-electron-linux-x64 anywhere you like it

2. run chatgpt-electron-linux-x64/chatgpt-electron and enjoy!

Panel shortcut in XFCE

Requirements

• xdotool apt install xdotool
• wmctrl apt install wmctrl

To make a shortcut to open a controlled window from your XFCE panel, you need to call your ./open_chatgpt.sh.

The goal of ./open_chatgpt.sh is to find the Electron window then resize it at will.

It works with a package output and I did NOT tested it with deb and rpm.

1. Right click on your XFCE Panel > "Panel" > "Add new items..."

2. Double-click on "Launcher":

3. In the "Launcher" window, press the "+" button.

4. In the "Edit Launcher" window, configure the Launcher so the command will open your open_chatgpt.sh from its path:

5. Optional: Name the shortcut and select an Icon (you can copy it from GPT.svg)

6. Save, Close, Enjoy!
