kitty - Binary install
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
.. |ins| replace:: curl -L :literal:`https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/installer.sh` | sh /dev/stdin
|
|
|
|
.. highlight:: sh
|
|
|
|
You can install pre-built binaries of |kitty| if you are on macOS or Linux using
|
|
the following simple command:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
:class: pre
|
|
|
|
|ins|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The binaries will be installed in the standard location for your OS,
|
|
:file:`/Applications/kitty.app` on macOS and :file:`~/.local/kitty.app` on
|
|
Linux. The installer only touches files in that directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Manually installing
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
If something goes wrong or you simply do not want to run the installer, you can
|
|
manually download and install |kitty| from the `GitHub releases page
|
|
<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/releases>`_. If you are on macOS, download
|
|
the :file:`.dmg` and install as normal. If you are on Linux, download the tarball
|
|
and extract it into a directory. The |kitty| executable will be in the
|
|
:file:`bin` sub-directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Customizing the installation
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
* You can specify a different install location, with ``dest``:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
:class: pre
|
|
|
|
|ins| \\
|
|
dest=/some/other/location
|
|
|
|
* You can tell the installer not to launch |kitty| after installing it with
|
|
``launch=n``:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
:class: pre
|
|
|
|
|ins| \\
|
|
launch=n
|
|
|
|
* You can use a previously downloaded dmg/tarball, with ``installer``:
|
|
|
|
.. parsed-literal::
|
|
:class: pre
|
|
|
|
|ins| \\
|
|
installer=/path/to/dmg or tarball
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building from source
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|kitty| is easy to build from source, follow the :doc:`instructions <build>`.
