Install Cli

Use Kilo Code directly from your terminal for maximum flexibility.

Install via npm

npm install -g @kilocode/cli

Older CPUs (No AVX Support)

If you're running on an older CPU without AVX support (e.g., Intel Xeon Nehalem, AMD Bulldozer, or older), the CLI may crash with "Illegal instruction". In that case, download the baseline variant from GitHub releases:

1. Go to Kilo Releases
2. Download the -baseline variant for your platform:
   • Linux x64: kilo-linux-x64-baseline.tar.gz
   • macOS x64: kilo-darwin-x64-baseline.zip
   • Windows x64: kilo-windows-x64-baseline.zip
3. Extract and run the kilo binary directly

Verify Installation

kilo --version
