How to upgrade Nitrocid KS on macOS

The upgrade instructions is based on pre-release version of Nitrocid KS, and the system requirements may change during the development.

The only way to upgrade your kernel in macOS is to unpack the updated kernel files manually. This method also works for bleeding-edge builds, though you have to use unzip instead. To upgrade, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest release ZIP file from this page.

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

3. Open your favorite terminal emulator, like iTerm2, 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.
