Why would you download Kookaburra?

Kookaburra is a simple programming language, designed for beginners but with sufficient complexity for more advanced coders. Kookaburra can be run on multiple platforms all using the same structure and syntax, thereby requiring a only single learning curve.

It's completely free and open-source. It leaves no footprint with all data stored in a single directory. It simply creates a folder in the AppData Roaming folder. You can have a look in the folder by pressing win + R and typing '%appdata%/kookaburra'. Press enter, file explorer will appear with the open folder.

Does Kookaburra need internet acces?

No, most featrues work offline. Features like download and update are only accessing the internet when the user specifies the command.

Will Kookaburra ever support Mac-OS?

We currently see no demand in Mac-OS, unless it's worth the time in testing Kookaburra. You can always make your own build of Kookaburra that supports Mac-OS. Some features need modifications to work.

Does Kookaburra support custom commands?

Yes, it does. Open the Kookaburra config directory, and edit the custom_commands.txt file. Kookaburra is made in a dynamic workflow, any improvements and suggestions greatfully received.

You can add a new line with paint=mspaint. When typing the command paint, it will open Microsoft Paint. Read more..

Which 3rd party terminals does Kookaburra support?

Windows Terminal - Stable Bash Terminal - Stable Hyper - Stable


πŸ’Ώ Installation

For Windows:

  • Using Microsoft Store.
  • Github Releases:
    1. Head over to the 'Releases'
    2. Open the 'Assets' drop-down from the desired version of kookaburra (If you can't decide, we recommend you to select the latest version)
    3. Download the KookaburraShell_x_xxx.exe file.
    4. Open Kookaburra by double clicking the executable.

For Linux

Use this command to download it with wget

wget  https://github.com/AZProductions/Kookaburra/releases/download/0.8.5/KookaburraShell_linux_0.8.5

Or by using curl

curl https://github.com/AZProductions/Kookaburra/releases/download/0.8.5/KookaburraShell_linux_0.8.5

Provide Kookaburra permissions by typing

chmod 777 ./KookaburraShell_linux_0.8.5

And run it by typing

./KookaburraShell_linux_0.8.5

Run Kookaburra and open a .kookaburra file with

./KookaburraShell_linux_0.8.5 /filelocation/example.kookaburra

We strongly recommend that you read The complete guide of Kookaburra before starting. In the CLI you can type the command help to list all the possible commands with explanation. You can also watch the full tutorial, but since it is outdated and not supported in the newer versions of Kookaburra we discourage it.

πŸ” Security

When downloading Kookaburra, you can chose between getting it from the Microsoft Store or downloading it via GitHub. On Linux you can download it via GitHub using Curl or Wget. On Windows open your favourite browser and head over to 'https://www.github.com/AZProductions/Kookaburra/releases' or 'https://www.github.com/AZProductions/Kookaburra/releases/latest' to download the latest stable build. Click on the little dropdown icon and download the most suitable version for your computer.

If you don't know which version you should download, newer computers support x64. If you have an older computer or don't know if the computer is x64 based, just pick the x86 version.

Some browsers like Edge will stop you from opening the file. These pop ups are just warnings to tell the user to not download random files off the internet. The official Kookaburra files are safe to use. Feel free to use an antivirus program to check for your own piece of mind. Just select keep and open the file. Windows SmartScreen will pop up, and again, this is a false positive. Click on Read more, and select run. Kookaburra should start up. If you're not so keen with these pop ups, we recommend you to download it in the Microsoft Store. You can also manually build the code using .Net, it takes longer but then you can verify that the binaries haven't been tampered with. Read more..

You can also get the SHA-256 from the file and compare it with the reference in the Releases tab in github. There's an online tool where you can upload the file and get the SHA-256.

Available on the website.
