Download the latest executable from the releases page. You may have to provide executable permission for the file based on your setup.
Note for MacOS: The OS may prevent opening the executable since the app has not been notarized. You can temporarily override the settings to allow execution by heading to privacy and security settings and allowing execution as mentioned here.
For fun, mostly. I use the terminal extensively but often have to switch away from it to do time unit conversions, hashing, etc. I wanted a handy tool that runs in the terminal and also wanted to test kotlin multiplatform as a solution for scalable cross-platform applications.
