Installation and run

The easiest way to install Kipt is to use kiptup, a portable script that downloads prebuilt binaries and manages shell configuration for you. However, it might not be available depending on your device's platform and/or architecture.

Using kiptup

If you're on Linux/macOS/WSL, you can install kiptup by running the following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glihm/kipt/main/kiptup/install | sh

You might need to restart your shell session for the kiptup command to become available. Once it's available, run the kiptup command:

kiptup

Running the commands installs kipt for you, and upgrades it to the latest release if it's already installed.

ℹ️ Note

Over time, kiptup itself may change and require upgrading. To upgrade kiptup itself, run the curl command above again.

Prebuilt binaries

Prebuilt binaries are available with GitHub releases for certain platforms.

Prebuilt binaries are best managed with kiptup. However, if you're on a platform where kiptup isn't available (e.g. using kiptup on Windows natively), you can manually download the prebuilt binaries and make them available from PATH.

Run Kipt

For now Kipt as very few options, and you only have to provide the Lua script to execute:

kipt ./scripts/demo.lua
