Add the clone engine, CLI, tests, CI, and docs

kage renders every page in headless Chrome, snapshots the final
DOM, strips all JavaScript, and localises CSS, images, and fonts
so a site can be browsed offline as a plain folder of files.

The engine is split into small packages:

  urlx      deterministic URL to local-path mapping and scope rules
  sanitize  remove scripts, on* handlers, and javascript: URLs
  asset     rewrite HTML and CSS references, download assets
  browser   headless Chrome pool over the DevTools protocol
  robots    robots.txt matcher
  clone     the orchestrator: a polite resumable breadth-first crawl

The cli package wires a cobra and fang command surface with two
commands, clone and serve. Every pure package has table tests; the
browser and clone packages add Chrome-driven end-to-end tests that
skip when no browser is present or under -short.

CI runs gofmt, vet, build, race tests, golangci-lint, govulncheck,
and a tidy check on Linux and macOS. A goreleaser config fans one
tag out to archives, deb/rpm/apk, a Chromium-bundled GHCR image,
and the package managers. A tago docs site builds to Pages and
Cloudflare.

title: "Installation"
description: "Install kage from Go, Homebrew, a release archive, a Linux package, or the container image, and point it at a browser."
weight: 20
---
kage is a single binary. Pick whichever channel suits you.
## Go
```bash
go install github.com/tamnd/kage/cmd/kage@latest
```
## Homebrew
```bash
brew install tamnd/tap/kage
```
## Release archives and Linux packages
Every [release](https://github.com/tamnd/kage/releases) attaches `tar.gz`
archives (and a `.zip` for Windows) for Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD, plus
`.deb`, `.rpm`, and `.apk` packages and a `checksums.txt` with a cosign
signature. Download the one for your platform, extract `kage`, and put it on your
`PATH`.
```bash
# Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i kage_*_linux_amd64.deb
# Fedora/RHEL
sudo rpm -i kage_*_linux_amd64.rpm
```
## Container
The image bundles Chromium, so it needs nothing else:
```bash
docker run -v "$PWD/out:/out" ghcr.io/tamnd/kage clone example.com
```
The mirror lands in `./out/example.com/` on your host.
## You need a browser
kage drives a real Chrome to render pages. Outside the container image, it needs
Chrome or Chromium available on the machine. It looks for a system install
automatically (Google Chrome on macOS and Windows, `google-chrome`/`chromium` on
Linux). To use a specific binary:
```bash
kage clone example.com --chrome /path/to/chromium
# or
export KAGE_CHROME=/path/to/chromium
```
If no browser is found, kage's launcher can download a private copy of Chromium
on first use.
