System
Framework
Terminal

We support installing KS 0.0.24.0 or lower until the full deprecation of .NET Framework.

Installation

There are several ways to install Nitrocid KS on Linux systems.

Method 1: Manual unpack

If you like to manually unpack the Nitrocid KS packages, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that you have all the required software installed

  2. Unpack the ZIP archive to any folder of your choice

  3. Open your favorite terminal emulator, like Konsole, and change the working directory to a folder containing the Nitrocid KS executable

  4. Execute dotnet Nitrocid.dll to start the kernel

For 0.0.24.x or older, files that end with the -dotnet prefix means that it's for .NET 6.0.

Method 2: Ubuntu PPA

If you're running Ubuntu, you can install KS using the Ubuntu PPA. Just follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal emulator and execute the following:

    • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/kernel-sim

    • sudo apt update

  2. Install the kernel-simulator package

    • sudo apt install kernel-simulator

  3. Start ks or use your app drawer to find Nitrocid KS

Bleeding-edge

Bleeding-edge builds usually come from building the development branch of the kernel, and they usually contain bugs and other untested features.

If you're a tester to such software, please follow the steps on your Windows machine. Please be sure that you're signed in to your GitHub account.

  1. Select the most recent build

  2. Scroll down to Artifacts and click on the ks-build button to download the ZIP file

  3. Extract the file. Be sure that you have the latest version of your favorite archive manager installed

  4. Open your favorite terminal emulator, like Konsole, and change the working directory to a folder containing the Nitrocid KS executable

  5. Execute dotnet Nitrocid.dll to start the kernel

Download the latest release ZIP file from .
