Hi @aakash-test7, this proposal is good, but it's quite minimal. I appreciate that the scope of this project is relatively simple, but it would be good to expand on e.g. the timetable to show that you have fully understood what is required from this project.

### Stretch Goals

- Implement auto-update functionality
- Create GUI installer for each platform

Need to make sure it isn't only installable via a GUI, as there are many systems (e.g. HPC) that we target without a display

Understood! The proposal should ensure that the standalone executable supports both GUI and non-GUI installations (e.g., headless HPC environments ). Let me make the required changes
