Install

Pick the path that matches your platform and how much you enjoy compiling things before coffee.

Homebrew (macOS)

kiro-generator is available through the kiro-generator/kiro-generator tap:

brew install kiro-generator/kiro-generator/kiro-generator

If you prefer the explicit two-step version:

brew tap kiro-generator/kiro-generator
brew install kiro-generator

Note: the current tap formula installs from the published arm64-darwin release asset.

paru -S kiro-generator

If you use yay, that works too:

yay -S kiro-generator

GitHub releases publish .deb packages for amd64 and arm64. Download the matching package, then install it with:

sudo apt install ./kiro-generator_<version>-1_<arch>.deb

Example:

sudo apt install ./kiro-generator_0.2.2-1_amd64.deb

If you already have a Rust toolchain, this is the simplest cross-platform option:

cargo install kiro-generator

git clone https://github.com/kiro-generator/kiro-generator.git
cd kiro-generator
cargo install --path .

kg --version
kg --help

Continue to Quickstart if you want the --skeleton path
Continue to Guided migration if you already have existing Kiro agent JSON to migrate
