****************
Before you begin
****************

Make sure you have a **supported version of Python installed (>3.10)**, and that you're working in the directory where kiurui is located.

*********************
Choosing your version
*********************

Kiurui comes in two versions:

* `kiurui_curses.py` — uses the `curses <https://docs.python.org/3/library/curses.html>`_ module for a polished terminal experience. **It's not included in the standard Python distribution for Windows.**
* `kiurui_universal.py` — a version that works across different systems.

***************
Getting started
***************

You'll need a `terminal emulator <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_emulator>`_ to run kiurui. Once you have one open and you're in the directory where kiurui is located, run:

.. code-block:: bash

    python3 kiurui_curses.py

or

.. code-block:: bash

    python3 kiurui_universal.py
