In this video I cover how to install the ChatGPT Desktop Application on Linux and integrate it into the desktop environment.

Step 1. Sign Up for A ChatGPT Account.

The only requirement for using ChatGPT is that you have signed up for an account, which is currently free, although I suspect there will be paid tiers in the future.

Step 2. Install ChatGPT Desktop Application.

The ChatGPT Desktop application is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

To install the latest version, click on the Release page, and you will see two download options for Linux, an AppImage or deb file.

I recommend downloading the AppImage, which should work with any modern Linux distribution.

Once the download has completed, extract the archive, and inside you will find the ChatGPT AppImage.

Next, right click on the AppImage file, navigate to "Permissions" or equivalent and make sure that the file is set as executable.

From here, double click on the file to launch the application, verify that you are human and then sign in with your account.

As you can see, the ChatGPT desktop application functions like using the service through a web browser.

Step 3. Integrate ChatGPT into Your Application Launcher.

Since the ChatGPT AppImage is a standalone file, this means that every time you want to use the application, you will need to double click the AppImage again.

So instead, we can integrate the AppImage so it functions the same as any other installed application.

For that purpose, we will be using AppImageLauncher, which can be installed on a wide variety of distributions.

For example, for Ubuntu based distributions, there is a PPA which can added with the following Terminal commands.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:appimagelauncher-team/stable
sudo apt update
sudo apt install appimagelauncher

Alternatively, for Arch based distributions, such as EndeavourOS, it can be installed from the AUR, with the following Terminal command:

yay appimagelauncher

It should noted that Manjaro already has AppImageLauncher preinstalled.

Either way, once installation is finished, the next time you launch the ChatGPT AppImage, you will see a prompt to "Integrate and run" or "run once".

If you choose the former, it will integrate the ChatGPT AppImage into your application launcher, meaning that can launch it just any other installed application.
