Description

I just installed the OSX GUI today, and noticed that I had an update for Keybase though Homebrew. Trying to install it gave me an error, and indicated that the executable was also available through the GUI. I was able to uninstall the Homebrew version and my machine is using the bundled version now; maybe the installation steps should mention that the GUI comes with the executable?

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.10-20160210170015+58c3524

Research direction

Start by locating the OS X GUI installation instructions and checking how Homebrew installation is described. Done means the instructions explicitly explain that the GUI includes the executable and tell users to uninstall the Homebrew version when appropriate.
