The binaries will be installed in the standard location for your OS, on macOS and on Linux. The installer only touches files in that directory. To update kitty, simply re-run the command.
Warning
Do not copy the kitty binary out of the installation folder. If you want to add it to your , create a symlink in or or wherever. You should create a symlink for the binary as well.

Frequently Asked Questions¶
Some special symbols are rendered small/truncated in kitty?¶
The number of cells a Unicode character takes up are controlled by the Unicode standard. All characters are rendered in a single cell unless the Unicode standard says they should be rendered in two cells. When a symbol does not fit, it will either be rescaled to be smaller or truncated (depending on how much extra space it needs). This is often different from other terminals which just let the character overflow into neighboring cells, which is fine if the neighboring cell is empty, but looks terrible if it is not.
Some programs, like Powerline, vim with fancy gutter symbols/status-bar, etc. use Unicode characters from the private use area to represent symbols. Often these symbols are wide and should be rendered in two cells. However, since private use area symbols all have their width set to one in the Unicode standard, kitty renders them either smaller or truncated. The exception is if these characters are followed by a space or en-space (U+2002) in which case kitty makes use of the extra cell to render them in two cells. This behavior can be turned off for specific symbols using .
