Installation

Requirements

Kool is powered by Docker, you need to have it installed on your machine.

For Linux and MacOS

To install kool simply run the following script.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kool-dev/kool/master/install.sh | sudo bash

All this script will do is download latest kool bin from https://github.com/kool-dev/kool/releases for your OS and put in your /usr/local/bin folder.

For Windows

To check if everything looks good simply run kool to see the list of available commands.

Updating to a newer version

When a new version is released you can obtain it with the builtin command self-update:

sudo kool self-update

This will check the latest realease and download/install it case there is a newer version.

Alternative: in order to get a new release you can always repeat the installation steps provided above as well, which should get you the latest version.

We suggest that you start and sign up for new releases notifications on our Github main repository so you always will stay up to date with our latest features!
