Installation

Prepare your spaceship carefully.

This guide teaches how to download and install Kind through Rust, using Cargo, a tool used for managing packages. It may be necessary to have an internet connection to proceed with this guide.

First, install Rust using this link.

• Currently, Cargo is the only way to install Kind.
• This guide was written when Kind was in the beta version, so it is necessary to install the nightly channel version.

Linux or MacOS

Use your package manager (Cargo) to install Kind. To do so, open the terminal and type the following code:

cargo +nightly install kind2

Windows

For Windows users, it is possible to use Kind through CMD or WSL2. If you choose WSL, the installation method is in this link.

Use your package manager (Cargo) to install Kind. To do so, open Bash (WSL2) or Terminal (CMD) and type the following command:

cargo +nightly install kind2

Cloning the Kind Repository - Method 1

Clone the Kind repository using the "git clone" command, as follows:

git clone https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/Kind

After the cloning step, use the following command for installation:

cargo +nightly install --path crates/kind-cli --force

Cloning the Kind Repository - Method 2

Cargo allows you to install using git, without the need to clone any repository, as follows:

cargo +nightly install --git https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/Kind.git

By following the above steps, we can start using Kind.

Now, let's proceed to Text Editors and finish preparing our spaceship for exploration.
