The easiest way to get started is to visit our Wiki which has up-to-date information on a variety of install methods and platforms. https://wiki.kavitareader.com/en/install
Note: Kavita is under heavy development and is being updated all the time, so the tag for bleeding edge builds is :nightly
. The :latest
tag will be the latest stable release.
Got a great idea? Throw it up on our Feature Request site or vote on another idea. Please check the Project Board first for a list of planned features before you submit an idea.
Kavita is being actively developed and should be considered beta software until the 1.0 release. Kavita may be subject to changes in how the platform functions as it is being built out toward the vision. You may lose data and have to restart. The Kavita team strives to avoid any data loss.
