About the project

Kitty-nightly is terminal emulator with graphics support and its own display server. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

Typical distribution routes

Distribution depends on the project. Common routes include the system package index, a language registry, a version manager, or a source build described in the project documentation.

Check compatibility first

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

A quick sanity check

Verifying afterwards is straightforward. If something behaves unexpectedly, check for an older copy earlier in the path, or for a version manager pointing elsewhere.
