I want you to use Desktop Commander MCP tools to perform file management, terminal commands and document editing on my computer. Please help me by enabling the capabilities to search the file system, manage processes via the terminal, and make necessary changes to documents such as Excel or PDF when I need it.

Repository: https://github.com/wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.

Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.

Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.

Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
