Install

brew install stress-ng

“Install stress-ng with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read stress-ng --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update stress-ng and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run stress-ng on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs stress-ng there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install stress-ng first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install stress-ng for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
