How to install gpt4all on Debian? #3143

https://docs.gpt4all.io/gpt4all_desktop/quickstart.html links to a .run file for Linux. So I have downloaded it, set it as executable and ran it on Debian 12 (stable):

wget https://gpt4all.io/installers/gpt4all-installer-linux.run
chmod +x gpt4all-installer-linux.run && ./gpt4all-installer-linux.run

GUI installation completed. But what next? When i click the app launcher menu, type "gpt" i can see "Get GPT4All..." (Open-source assistant). When I click it, it launches Discover (GUI package manager frontend) which shows: Could not open appstream://io.gpt4all because it was not found in any available software repositories.

gpt4all

bash: gpt4all: command not found

The mine selected destination directory for the installation did not contain any executable which would suggest to be launched. Though the file InstallationLog.txt contained the .desktop file path placed to my desktop and indeed, there was a launcher on the desktop and it launched the app. Why it is not in the app launcher, I do not know.
