How to install katana

Katana is a developer utility. Development happens publicly, and releases are published by the project maintainers.

About the project

Katana is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How projects are distributed

Packaging differs from project to project. Some publish to system repositories, some to their own index, some only as source archives that a build tool expects.

Check compatibility first

Confirm the platform is supported by the current release. Tooling in this space moves quickly, and an older system often falls outside the supported range.

Afterwards

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
