When installing the executable from the command line there are currently no options available.

exposing any required install parameters and some functional parameters would be helpful. Aligning these to Microsoft MSI flags would make the most sense for the windows installer.

some ideas:
/? - brings up installer options in a window
/l - for a log file on the install
/qn - quiet install
/x - triggers uninstall
/i - triggers install
/ju - triggers user install
/jm - triggers systemwide install

this would be very useful in enterprise environment if the api key for the llm provide could be set during install and locked so the user couldnt change it.
