Guided installers -- no GitHub, Git, or Python experience needed

Socials Studio now has a guided download route for anyone with a Claude subscription who wants to
get started without cloning a repo or installing Python themselves.

  • Windows: Socials-Studio-Setup.exe provisions its own managed Python environment
    automatically -- no system Python required. If Claude Code isn't already installed, the
    installer can offer to install it (via WinGet, or Anthropic's official installer) through an
    opt-in checkbox on the finish page. You'll still need to complete Claude's own sign-in with an
    eligible Claude account before Socials Studio can run.
  • macOS: Socials-Studio-macOS.zip -- requires a system Python 3.10 or later already
    installed.
  • Linux: Socials-Studio-Linux.tar.gz -- requires a system Python 3.10 or later already
    installed.

Reinstalling or upgrading over an existing install preserves your saved platform logins and OAuth
tokens (profiles/) -- nothing there is ever touched.

Also included: a fix for onboarding failing when Chrome or the OS language wasn't set to English
(login verification was reading a translated accessible-name string instead of the expected
English one).

As always, nothing is published to any platform without your explicit confirmation -- publishing
still requires --confirm-publish / confirm_publish=True.

A note on the Windows installer: it isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show an
"unrecognized publisher" warning the first time you run it. This is expected for now.

Testing status -- read before installing

  • Windows: installed and launched successfully on a real Windows machine. Existing Claude Code
    detection and launch into Socials Studio were confirmed working end-to-end.
  • The optional "install Claude Code for me" route has passed automated Windows CI testing, but has
    not yet been tested by a person on a machine where Claude Code wasn't already installed.
  • Linux: installer mechanics tested on Ubuntu 24.04 x64; real Chrome/account publishing has not
    been tested through this package.
  • macOS: automated CI runner test only -- no human hardware test has been received yet.

If you try this on macOS or Linux, please report how it went (or open an issue) -- real hardware
test reports are exactly what's needed to move these platforms from "automated test only" to
"verified."
