Install Kiro CLI (Optional) ## 5. Summary ## 6. Troubleshooting ## 7. References Kiro is an AI-powered development environment by AWS. This guide walks you through installing the Kiro desktop IDE and optional CLI on Fedora or Red Hat-based systems. What this guide does: Requirements: Fedora or Red Hat-based Linux (x64). Install required tools before starting: Run these steps to install the full IDE from the official Kiro download server. Or launch Kiro from your application menu. For the command-line tools only: Installs kiro-cli and q to ~/.local/bin. Issue: kiro command not found after installation Solution: Ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH. Run source ~/.bashrc or open a new terminal. If using a different shell (e.g. zsh), add export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" to ~/.zshrc. Issue: Desktop entry does not appear in application menu Solution: Run update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications (if available) or log out and back in so the desktop environment picks up the new entry. Issue: jq fails when fetching metadata Solution: Ensure jq is installed (sudo dnf install -y jq). If the metadata URL changes, check the Kiro download documentation for the current URL.
