Install
Kilonova is distributed through its GitHub releases page. Every release so far is a pre-release (beta). If terms like APK or .deb are new, read Installing apps.

Check the download
A wallet is worth checking before you trust it. Each release has a SHA256SUMS file. Download it into the same folder as your file, then on Linux run:
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missingThe line for your file must end in OK. On Windows, Get-FileHash in PowerShell prints the hash to compare by eye:
Get-FileHash .\kilonova-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exeAndroid
Download the APK that matches your phone. Most phones need
arm64-v8a.Open the file. Android asks you to allow installs from the browser or file manager you used; allow it for this install.
Select Install.
The APKs of every release are signed with the same Kilonova release key, so a newer version installs over an older one as an update. The release notes print the certificate fingerprint if you want to check it with apksigner verify --print-certs.
Linux
.deb package
sudo apt install ./kilonova_*_amd64.debTarball
Download kilonova-<version>-linux-x64.tar.gz, extract it, and run the kilonova program inside the extracted folder.
Windows
Run kilonova-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exe, or extract the zip and run Kilonova from that folder.
Good to know
The Windows files are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning before running them. Check the file against SHA256SUMS first, then choose More info and Run anyway if you want to continue.
Updating
Install the newer release over the old one. Your wallets are kept. Before a big update it is still wise to have your seed written down and a fresh backup.
