Build it yourself

kal is pure Python 3.10+ with zero required dependencies — the whole thing is standard library.

git clone https://github.com/AzmxAI/kal0.git && cd kal0
python3 -m unittest discover tests    # the full test suite
pip install .                         # installs the kal command
pip install ".[llm]"                  # plus the optional AI features

To produce a standalone binary like the released ones:

pip install pyinstaller
pyinstaller --onefile --name kal --paths . --collect-submodules kal packaging/pyinstaller_entry.py

Verify what you downloaded. Every release ships SHA256SUMS; run shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS and you know the bits are exactly what CI built.
