Getting started

This section assumes you’re using Gradle.

Kairo is hosted on Google Artifact Registry, so you’ll first need to add the Google Artifact Registry plugin and connect to Airborne Software repository.

build.gradle.kts

plugins {
  id("com.google.cloud.artifactregistry.gradle-plugin")
}

repositories {
  maven {
    url = uri("artifactregistry://us-central1-maven.pkg.dev/airborne-software/maven")
  }
}

Using one (or just a few) Kairo libraries

Kairo’s standalone libraries can be used independently within your existing project.

To use a single Kairo library, you could just add it to your dependencies block as you normally would.

build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
  implementation("software.airborne.kairo:YOUR-LIBRARY-OF-CHOICE:6.0.0")
}

However, we recommend using Kairo’s BOM to keep your Kairo dependencies aligned.

build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
  implementation(platform("software.airborne.kairo:bom:6.0.0"))
  implementation("software.airborne.kairo:YOUR-LIBRARY-OF-CHOICE")
}

Building a Kairo application

Great choice! You’re in for a treat.

If you’re building your entire application with Kairo, we highly recommend using Kairo’s full BOM, which not only keeps your Kairo dependencies aligned but also aligns several external library versions.

build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
  implementation(platform("software.airborne.kairo:bom-full:6.0.0"))
}
