Installing Kyto

Installing Kyto

Install the kura compiler on a machine.

Note: Install kura to work on Kyto projects. See Kyto vs kura.

---

Method 1 — GitHub Releases (recommended)

Download latest release

Platform	File	Binary inside
Windows x86-64	kyto-*-windows-x86_64.zip	kura.exe
Linux x86-64	kyto-*-linux-x86_64.zip	kura

Windows

Expand-Archive kyto-0.5.1-asm-windows-x86_64.zip
cd kyto-0.5.1-asm-windows-x86_64
.\kura.exe install
kura --version

Add %USERPROFILE%\.local\bin to PATH if needed.

Linux

unzip kyto-0.5.1-asm-linux-x86_64.zip
cd kyto-0.5.1-asm-linux-x86_64
chmod +x kura
./kura install
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
kura --version

---

Method 2 — Docker (Linux / CI)

Package: ghcr.io/voidmute/kyto

docker pull ghcr.io/voidmute/kyto:latest

# Run compile in current project
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" -w /work ghcr.io/voidmute/kyto:latest compile

# Specific version
docker pull ghcr.io/voidmute/kyto:v0.5.1-asm

Entrypoint is kura — pass any subcommand.

---

Method 3 — Build from source

Requirements

Platform	Tools
Linux	NASM 2.15+, ld (binutils)
Windows	NASM 2.15+, GoLink or MSVC link.exe

Linux

git clone https://github.com/voidmute/kyto.git
cd kyto
sudo apt install nasm    # Debian/Ubuntu
./asm/build.sh
./bin/kura-asm install

Windows

git clone https://github.com/voidmute/kyto.git
cd kyto
.\asm\build.ps1        # auto-downloads NASM + GoLink if missing
.\bin\kura-asm.exe install

Output binaries:

• Linux: bin/kura-asm
• Windows: bin/kura-asm.exe

kura install copies to a shorter name on PATH (kura / kura.exe).

---

Method 4 — Install script

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/voidmute/kyto/main/scripts/install-kura.sh | bash

(Requires a published release asset — falls back to build if script expects source.)

---

Verify installation

kura --version
# kura 0.5.0-asm

kura check    # in a project directory

---

Updating

1. Download newer release zip or docker pull ghcr.io/voidmute/kyto:latest
2. Run kura install again to overwrite ~/.local/bin/kura

---

Uninstall

rm ~/.local/bin/kura          # Linux
rm $env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin\kura.exe   # Windows
