First steps

New to ClikaRT? This section is where to start. It gives enough orientation to hold the whole library in your head, an install you can verify in minutes, and a first program that grows into a real pipeline. Read it in order:

  1. ClikaRT at a glance: what the runtime is and is not, who it is for, and the five-minute mental model.
  2. Get ClikaRT: pick your platform, get the download and verify commands.
  3. Quick install: prerequisites, the bundle, and two ways to prove it works.
  4. Tutorial series: six parts, each a complete step, with core concepts explained where they first appear. Your first program, tensors and operators, devices and the async model, your first pipeline (weights from disk, compute on the best device, results back), serve it (the same model behind the serving runtime, answering requests), and deploy to mobile (the part 4 program on a real phone, unchanged).
  5. What to read next: where to go once it runs.

How the ClikaRT docs are layered​

  • This section orients: condensed, in reading order, concepts woven in.
  • How-to guides: problem-oriented recipes, one per "how do I X", with additional examples as the end-to-end reading inside it.
  • API reference: the full reference per language: C++, C, Python, Kotlin, Go and Rust.

System requirements sits alongside, for the platform and hardware tables.
