FAQ

When verifying installation on Windows, I encounter the following error. How to resolve?

It seems that your package manager failed to install the right version of the Kilo CLI for your platform. You can try manually installing "@kilocode/cli-windows-x64" or "@kilocode/cli-windows-x64-baseline" package

Run the command npm install -g @kilocode/cli-windows-x64 as suggested to resolve the issue.
