Install on Windows

The Connector supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 on both amd64 and arm64.

Windows 10+
amd64 & arm64
No admin rights
OPTION 1 · RECOMMENDED

PowerShell installer

$

irm https://connector.kuali.co/install.ps1 | iex

Picks the right build for your CPU, downloads to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\kuali\kuali.exe, and adds that folder to your user PATH. No admin rights required. Open a new PowerShell window when it finishes so the updated PATH takes effect.

OPTION 2

Direct download

Download kuali-windows-amd64.exe (most PCs) or kuali-windows-arm64.exe (Copilot+ and other ARM machines) from the latest release, rename it to kuali.exe, then:

$

$dir = "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\kuali"

$

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path $dir | Out-Null

$

Move-Item -Force "$HOME\Downloads\kuali-windows-amd64.exe" "$dir\kuali.exe"

Add that folder to your user PATH if it isn't there already, then open a new PowerShell window.

OPTION 3

WSL

If you use Windows Subsystem for Linux, install the Linux build inside your distro. An AI client running on Windows can still call a Connector installed in WSL — point the MCP config at the WSL binary path (\\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\you\.local\bin\kuali).

FIRST-LAUNCH APPROVAL

If SmartScreen warns you

"Windows protected your PC"

Click More info, then Run anyway. You'll only see this once per machine.

VERIFY

Check it worked

$

kuali version

If the command isn't found, PATH likely didn't pick up the new folder — close and reopen PowerShell, or sign out and back in.

UNINSTALL

Clean removal

$

Remove-Item "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Programs\kuali" -Recurse -Force

$

Remove-Item "$HOME\.kuali" -Recurse -Force

Remove the PATH entry via Settings → Environment Variables, and delete any kuali-cli entries in Credential Manager → Windows Credentials.
