Download Kaizen Code

One-command install for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Staging build · real Stripe test mode

Install

The installer auto-detects your OS/architecture, downloads the matching release binary, verifies its checksum, and writes a config pointing at the staging backend.

Linux (x86_64 / aarch64)

wget -qO- https://install.stage.code.oxfordkaizen.com | bash

Have curl instead?

curl -fsSL https://install.stage.code.oxfordkaizen.com | bash

After install

Open a new terminal so the PATH update takes effect, then launch the TUI. If you're not signed in yet, kaizen will prompt for login on first run.

Troubleshooting

If something looks off — auth, backend connectivity, config path, or the install location — run the doctor. It prints a health report you can share when filing an issue.

What does the script do?

Curling shell scripts is reasonable to be cautious about. Here's what this one does and how to inspect it before you run it.

Detects your OS + CPU architecture.
Downloads the matching tarball/zip and a sha256sums.txt from the GitLab Generic Package Registry.
Verifies the checksum before unpacking.
Installs the kaizen binary to ~/.local/bin (Linux/macOS) or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Kaizen Code\bin (Windows).
Writes ~/.kaizen/config.yaml pointing at the staging backend.
Drops a receipt so subsequent installs upgrade in place.

Prefer to inspect first? wget -qO install.sh https://install.stage.code.oxfordkaizen.com (or curl -fsSL https://install.stage.code.oxfordkaizen.com -o install.sh), read it, then bash install.sh.
