Hey developers! Just got your Kiro waitlist email with your access code? Awesome! Let's walk through the process of getting you up and running. Follow these simple steps to get in and avoid the version error that trips up some new users.
The 3-Step Kiro Onboarding Flow
Step 1: Update Kiro Before you do anything else
Make sure you're running the latest version of Kiro. This crucial step prevents the dreaded "access code invalid" error that some new users encounter.
- Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux)
- Type 'Kiro: Check for Updates'
- Select and run the update
- Restart Kiro
Step 2: Choose Your Sign-In Method
Now, sign in using GitHub or Google. If your browser doesn't save credentials, you'll need to complete this step again.
Step 3: Enter Your Access Code
Now for the moment of truth! Enter the access code from your email. If you've followed steps 1 and 2 correctly, you should see a success screen. If you skip the update step, you might encounter an error – so don't forget to update first!
What to Expect
After entering your access code, you'll see a success screen. From there, Kiro will guide you through the final setup steps.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter an "invalid access code" error, double-check that you've completed the update process in Step 1. This resolves most issues new users face.
Ready, Set, Code!
With these steps complete, you're all set to dive into Kiro and start building amazing things. The power of Kiro is now at your fingertips. Happy coding, and welcome to the Kiro community!
