<p><strong>Everyone:</strong></p>
<p>
  Go to
  <a href="https://desktop.github.com/download/"
    >https://desktop.github.com/download/</a
  >
</p>

<div class="intel-mac apple-silicon-mac other-platform">
  <p><strong>Mac (Intel and Apple Silicon):</strong></p>

  <p>
    The download page has buttons for Apple Silicon and Intel. ⚠️ You'll have to
    choose the right one.
  </p>

  <p class="intel-mac other-platform">
    (Earlier you said you have an Intel Mac.)
  </p>

  <p class="apple-silicon-mac other-platform">
    (Earlier you said you have an Apple Silicon Mac.)
  </p>

  <p>
    To keep things organized, you should move the downloaded file out of your
    Downloads folder and into <strong>Applications</strong>. Note, you might
    need to uncompress the downloaded file.
  </p>
</div>

<div style="margin-top: 1em" class="this-platform">
  <p><strong>Everyone:</strong></p>
  <ol>
    <li id="a1b2c3">
      <a href="#a1b2c3" class="anchor-link" aria-label="Link to this item"></a>
      Install and launch GitHub Desktop when it is done downloading.
    </li>

    <li id="d4e5f6">
      <a href="#d4e5f6" class="anchor-link" aria-label="Link to this item"></a>
      <p>
        You should see a welcome message like the screenshot below. Click the
        <strong>Sign in to GitHub.com</strong> button:<br />
        <img
          src="images/install-github-desktop-sign-in.png"
          width="500"
          alt="GitHub Desktop dialog prompting the user to sign into GitHub.com"
        />

    <li id="g7h8i9">
      <a href="#g7h8i9" class="anchor-link" aria-label="Link to this item"></a>
      <p>
        You should get a message asking you to authorize GitHub Desktop. Accept,
        and it should take you back to a screen in GitHub Desktop that looks
        like this:
      </p>
      <img
        src="images/install-github-desktop-configure-git.png"
        width="500"
        alt="the Configure Git dialog for specifying your name and email"
      />
      <p>
        <strong>If you don’t see this screen</strong>, and instead it looks like
        it is still waiting for you to log in, click the Cancel button, and then
        try the option that says “Sign in to GitHub.com using your username and
        password” instead.
      </p>
      <p>
        If you do see this screen, do enter your real name, but don’t change the
        email! <strong>Click Continue</strong>.
      </p>

      <p>Click <strong>Finish</strong>.</p>
