Getting Started

Linux

KOS Studio empowers developers with a feature-rich, user-friendly environment that accelerates innovative dispense application development. This article provides information on how to install KOS Studio on Linux-based computers.

Requirement

  • Ubuntu LTS releases ( Ubuntu 20, 22, 24)

  • curl installation should be present on the system, which may be installed with:

$ sudo apt install curl

  • libfuse2. If libfuse2 is not installed, you will be prompted to install it during installation.

  • You must enable hardware virtualization on your computer (this setting might be found in BIOS).

  • Installation to a Virtual Machine may cause problems, particularly if your Host OS is not Linux.

Installation Location

KOS Studio is a gateway to privileged data including your repositories and API keys. By installing at the user level, you guarantee that no one else on your computer has access to the software, and it allows us to keep your application up-to-date without administrator privileges. KOS Studio is installed at:

~/kosStudio

Instructions

  • To install KOS Studio, execute the following command from your terminal.

bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://sause2tcccknaprod0001.blob.core.windows.net/release/kos-studio-install-bootstrap)"

  • The above command will run a carefully crafted script to install KOS Studio at the designated location. Prior to installation, the script may prompt the user to install dependent components. The script will use sudo apt commands to install the libfuse2 package if it is not already installed. It will prompt you to confirm that the package can be installed.

  • Before installing KOS Studio, the script will ask the user to confirm the installation before proceeding. The output will look like :

$ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://sause2tcccknaprod0001.blob.core.windows.net/release/kos-studio-install-bootstrap)"
