Pick your swamp path: installer, archive, Cargo, Nix, or your platform's package manager. Linux, macOS, and Windows get native listing, inspect, watch, why, and explicit tree cleanup; process-group cleanup stays Unix-only.

Build from the Git repository with Cargo, or run the Nix flake directly.
Any platform
Rust users can build and install straight from the repository.
cargo install --locked --git https://github.com/nuggocto/kickoutchiLinux
