AUTO-UPDATES

The Connector keeps itself current

Once installed, the Connector can update itself:

$

kuali update check

   # see if a newer version is out

$

kuali update install

 # replace the binary in place

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

What you need

A 64-bit operating system (amd64 or arm64)

An internet connection to reach your Kuali instance

Permission to run an executable your organization hasn't pre-approved — see the macOS and Windows guides for the one-time "first-launch" approval dance

Optional: an AI client that supports local MCP servers — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, or VS Code. ChatGPT and other hosted-only clients aren't supported.

VERIFY YOUR INSTALL

Check it worked

After installing on any platform:

$

kuali version

kuali 0.5.0

See a version number?

You're ready — continue to Getting started to connect your Kuali instance and wire up your AI assistant.

Command not found?

Check Troubleshooting → command not found. The most common cause is a Terminal window opened before the install finished.
