Manual Installation Instructions

[johnlindquist]

If the automatic setup fails (sometimes due to proxy/firewalls/etc), here are steps you can take to manually set up:

Remove previous .kit and .kenv:

please be careful with rm -rf. It recursively deletes directories:

rm -rf ~/.kit
rm -rf ~/.kenv

Set up the core ".kit":

git clone https://github.com/johnlindquist/kit.git ~/.kit
cd ~/.kit
./install-node.sh --prefix node --platform darwin
./node/bin/npm i

Set up your environment ".kenv":

git clone https://github.com/johnlindquist/kenv.git ~/.kenv

Relaunch Kit.app.

Kit.app will detect the directories exist and skip trying to set them up.

Please post below if you run into issues. I know it's a lot more steps than you probably want to take. Thanks for your patience.

Should ./setup/install-node.sh --prefix node --platform darwin be ./install-node.sh --prefix node --platform darwin?

Since install-node.sh lives in the root.

Yes, thank you. I updated the main post to reflect that.
