Checksums are in SHA256SUMS. Every release is listed on GitHub.
Install
On Linux or macOS:
tar -xzf ikml_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sudo mv ikml /usr/local/bin/
ikml version
The binaries are static, so they run on any Linux distribution. The macOS binaries aren’t signed by Apple, so macOS may block the first run; allow it in System Settings under Privacy & Security, or run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ikml. On Windows, unzip the archive and put ikml.exe in a folder on your PATH.
The Browser Version
The inspector on this site needs no download. To run it on your own server or intranet, take ikml-web.zip: four files (a page, a script, the WebAssembly engine and Go’s loader) that work on any static host. Serve ikml.wasm with the application/wasm type, which most servers do already.
How Releases Are Built
Each binary is built by the release workflow on GitHub. Before a release goes out, the workflow runs the Linux, Windows and Apple silicon builds through a short test on sample files, then checks the whole set of downloads with rmqa. If anything is missing or wrong, nothing is published.
Build It Yourself
You need Go 1.24 or later. There’s no C compiler involved.
go install github.com/softdevstudio/ikml/cmd/ikml@latest
