   • Install on Linux

     # Detect system architecture
     ARCH=$(uname -m)
     
     # Download the correct binary based on architecture
     if [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
       curl -Lo ./ai-services https://github.com/IBM/project-ai-services/releases/download/v0.3.0/ai-services-linux-amd64
     elif [ "$ARCH" = "ppc64le" ]; then

     else
       echo "Unsupported architecture: $ARCH"
     fi
     
     # Make the binary executable
     chmod +x ./ai-services
     
     # Move it to a directory in PATH
     sudo mv ./ai-services /usr/local/bin/ai-service

   • Install on MacOS

     # Detect system architecture
