# Installation

> Install Skaro on Linux, macOS, or Windows. Python 3.11+ required.

## Requirements

* **Python 3.11** or later
* **Git** (recommended — Skaro detects `.git` and tracks commits)
* **Node.js 18+** (only if building the frontend from source)

## From Source

For development or contributing:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/skarodev/skaro.git
cd skaro
python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

To build the web dashboard frontend (optional — a pre-built version is bundled in releases):

```bash theme={null}
cd frontend
npm install
npm run build
```

## Verify

```bash theme={null}
skaro --version
```

You should see output like `skaro, version 0.1.11`.

The `skaro` package includes everything in one install:

* **skaro\_cli** — the `skaro` command-line tool
