Quick Start

First things First

Start by installing K3Ai, what you DON'T need to start:

• A fancy super-duper computer/server with GPU's etc..(we managed to install everything in a 4 GB RAM laptop)

• A cluster: don't worry we will take care of it if you don't have anything

• Linux, Mac, Win: we got them all (and working to support ARM too)

• Do I need to go through 1000 pages of documentation? Nah just go for the below command and move to Hello-Start

Ready? Let's go, first pick up your flavor, we have a utility script but f for any reason it fails just go straight away to https://github.com/kf5i/k3ai-core/releases and download the binary. Place it in your path and that's it.

NOTE: Unfortunately not all plugins work with ARM. We will take care of this and make a way to let you know before installing them

All you have to do is, download the binary for your Operating System, move it to your path (if you like easy things), and use it.

Linux (Including Microsoft WSL)

curl -fL "https://get.k3ai.in" -o k3ai.tar.gz

once downloaded untar the file and move it to your path

tar -xvzf k3ai.tar.gz \
&& chmod +x ./k3ai \
&& sudo mv ./k3ai /usr/local/bin

Windows

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://get-win.k3ai.in" -OutFile k3ai.zip

once downloaded unzip the file and move it to your path or execute it from a folder of your choice (i.e.: k3ai.exe -h)

 Expand-Archive -Path .\k3ai.zip

Mac

curl -fL "https://get-mac.k3ai.in" -o k3ai.tar.gz

once downloaded untar the file and move it to your path

tar -xvzf k3ai.tar.gz \
&& chmod +x ./k3ai \
&& sudo mv ./k3ai /usr/local/bin

Arm64

curl -fL "https://get-arm.k3ai.in" -o k3ai.tar.gz

once downloaded untar the file and move it to your path

tar -xvzf k3ai.tar.gz \
&& chmod +x ./k3ai \
&& sudo mv ./k3ai /usr/local/bin

Alternative method for Linux

If for any reason it fails just go straight away to https://github.com/kf5i/k3ai-core/releases and download the binary. Place it in your path and that's it.

or use the following

#Set a variable to grab latest version
Version=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/kf5i/k3ai-core/releases/latest" | awk -F '"' '/tag_name/{print $4}' | cut -c 2-6) 
# get the binaries
wget https://github.com/kf5i/k3ai-core/releases/download/v$Version/k3ai-core_${Version}_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Note: sometimes things take longer than expected resulting in the error below:

error: timed out waiting for the condition on xxxxxxx

Don't worry! Sometimes the installation takes a few minutes, especially the Vagrant version or if you have limited bandwidth.

Errors in the utility script? Use this (on Linux)

#Set a variable to grab latest version
Version=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/kf5i/k3ai-core/releases/latest" | awk -F '"' '/tag_name/{print $4}' | cut -c 2-6) 
# get the binaries
wget https://github.com/kf5i/k3ai-core/releases/download/v$Version/k3ai-core_${Version}_linux_amd64.tar.gz
