Desktop installers were missing from the initial install-method chooser and documented below uninstall instructions. Put the desktop preview directly after the chooser, with links to macOS, Windows, and Linux instructions, so installer users can skip npm/source setup.

Explain preview limitations and bundled Node.js/uv, correct installer filenames to match published assets, and update the macOS quarantine command to match the release notes.

Fixes #1025

Validation:

  • mint validate passed.
  • mint broken-links passed.
  • git diff --check passed.
  • The latest-release URL and all four v1.34.0 installer URLs returned HTTP 200 (macOS DMG, Windows EXE, Linux AppImage and DEB). Installers were not executed on each OS.

Source verification: released packaging configuration defines bundled runtimes and platform targets; desktop startup configures bundled Node.js/uv; v1.34.0 release assets and macOS note confirm download filenames and the quarantine command.

This puts that big long section at the top of the page. This will likely put more eyes on the electron builds. Maybe we can also link each of the ways to install to their section. Right now only the desktop app links to it just below the block.

I also realize this page doesn't exactly help someone who may already be technically inclined. Maybe we should have a quick start 1 line install at the very top with:

npm install -g @openhands/agent-canvas && agent-canvas
