Download Binaries​
You can download the client and server binaries on our
Github releases page. There is
currently no installer available. You have to add the binary to the PATH in your
environment yourself, for example by putting it into /usr/local/bin or
something comparable.
Once installed, you should be able to run:
kratos help
Building from Source​
If you wish to compile the binary yourself, you need to install and set up
Go 1.17+ and add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.
