  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/jesusdmedinac/KMP-CLI.git
cd KMP-CLI
  2. Build the native release executable: 
    ./gradlew :kmp-cli:linkReleaseExecutableNative
  3. The binary will be produced at: 
    kmp-cli/build/bin/<target>/releaseExecutable/kmp.kexe
    Add a symlink to your $PATH: 
    ln -s "$(pwd)/kmp-cli/build/bin/macosArm64/releaseExecutable/kmp.kexe" ~/.local/bin/kmp
