Install Kaba
Getting started walks through install, first run and the three controls you will use most.
Kaba is two programs that work together:
- Kaba Console (
kaba) is the desktop client: a tiling browser with a terminal, file explorer, desktop, memory store and model harness in one window. - Kaba Control (
kabactl) is the engine behind it: a single Rust binary that serves the local API, proxy, memory store, model inference and training, and the encrypted peer mesh. It also runs on its own as a headless node.
These docs cover Kaba Console 0.146 and kabactl 0.87.
Unless a page says otherwise, they describe Kaba Personal, where everything is local: your account, your keys, your policies, your devices. Kaba Enterprise with fleet management centralizes sign-in, policy, enrolment and updates. See what fleet control changes.
