Description

The whole Kebab host in one Windows x64 executable: web UI, REST + skills API, terminal PTY sessions, Agent Composer, browser/desktop cockpits and the plugin surface.

Catalog build: 0.108.165-bridge (broker 0.107.238-bridge).

For Linux, take ai_kebab (Linux x64) instead — the two are separate downloads and are not interchangeable.

Requirements

• Windows x64.
• The .NET 8 runtime. This is a framework-dependent build — check with dotnet --list-runtimes and look for Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.x. If it is missing, install the ASP.NET Core / .NET 8 runtime from Microsoft.
• Nothing else. The PTY broker is embedded in the executable, so there is no second file to fetch and no installer to run.

Run it

Drop the executable in its own folder and start it:

.\ai_kebab.exe

It listens on http://127.0.0.1:9708 by default and prints its URL and token on startup.

To pin the port, token and data directory, put a config.json next to the executable:

{
  "port": 8900,
  "bindHost": "127.0.0.1",
  "dataDir": "data",
  "token": "pick-your-own-token",
  "defaultUser": "kebab",
  "defaultPass": "kebab"
}

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8900/?token=pick-your-own-token. On first run it creates data/ for session state and logs, and a plugins/ folder.

Bind to 0.0.0.0 only if you mean it: the token is the only thing between the network and a shell on your machine.

Check that it came up

Invoke-RestMethod http://127.0.0.1:9708/health

A healthy host answers with ok: true and its version. GET /api/skills?token=... returns the full machine-readable API index — that is the entry point for scripting it.

Verify the download

(Get-FileHash .\ai_kebab.exe -Algorithm SHA256).Hash

Compare it against sha256 for kebab/ai_kebab-win-x64 in the JSON catalog.
