The development code for kiwitrees-nova is stored and publicly accessible on Github. Once it is at a stage where widespread testing can safely proceed there will be ‘official’ beta versions released, and available here on kiwitrees.net. If you want to test earlier than that you can create a download of the correct code at Github. But please note the following….
DEVELOPMENT CODE MAY SERIOUSLY HARM YOUR DATA!
The code available from Github, other than official releases, changes weekly, daily, and even minute-by-minute. Therefore it should be clearly understood that it will contain bugs and incomplete code snippets. Any existing code may be subject to change.
DO NOT USE DEVELOPMENT CODE ON A LIVE SITE, OR WITH YOUR PRIMARY FAMILY TREE DATA.

Downloading development code
- Note: registration on Github is NOT required to simply download the code.
- Go to https://github.com/kiwi3685/kiwitrees-nova
- Click on the green “Code” button, then click “Download ZIP” (see image right)
- Save the zip folder to your local computer.
- Copy the contents of that zip folder to your web server (same installation / upgrade process as normal kiwitrees). If operating on a local computer web server (xamp, wamp, mamp, etc) that means to a sub folder (e.g. ‘kt-nova” perhaps) created in the web server’s htdocs or www folder.
- To start the setup process enter the url for your newly created kiwitrees-nova folder into your browser, e.g.:
- http://your domain/kiwitrees-nova or similar if on an internet server
- localhost/kiwitrees-nova, or similar, on a local web server.
- (Note settings for these may vary on your system, check with the server configuration / web host).
