Download

Download Kaleta.

One ZIP file with the whole system: free, open source under GPL-2.0-or-later, no account and no licence key. The current version is Kaleta 3.5.

Requirements

What your hosting needs.

  • PHP 8.4 or newer with the pdo_mysql and mbstring extensions.
  • MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.6 or newer, and an empty database.
  • Apache, which reads the included .htaccess files, or Nginx with the example configuration in system/nginx.example.conf.
  • Write access to the site folder (for config.php) and to storage/ (logs and cache).
  • HTTPS, which Claude needs to connect to your site.

The installer checks PHP, the extensions and write access before it asks for anything.

Installation

Three steps, a few minutes.

1. Upload.

Unpack the ZIP and upload its contents to your hosting over FTP or the file manager, including the hidden .htaccess files.

2. Create a database.

Create an empty MySQL or MariaDB database in your hosting's control panel and note its name, user and password.

3. Run the installer.

Open your-site/install.php, fill in one form and choose a starter site. The installer deletes itself when it is done.

Afterwards

Updates come to you.

  • Updates from the admin. Your site downloads and installs later versions itself in Settings → Backups and updates. Every package is signed, and a failed update puts the old files back.
  • Security fixes install themselves unless you switch that off.
  • Connect Claude when you are ready: the admin shows the address to add in the Claude app. How connecting works.

What changes in each version is in the changelog, and how versions are numbered and supported is in the release policy. The source code is on GitHub.
