The scope of crypto projects is often open source solutions. Since it is assumed that numerous developers will work on the kernel and its components, as well as other ecosystem projects, it would be good practice to make it clear what the kernel consists of, how the daemon is launched step by step, and explain the directory structure. Due to the fact that the project is large and complex, this will be extremely useful both for people who just want to learn more about the project, and for developers. Since we are just getting started right now, we will only provide something like a demo of what it will look like. Soon, we will create a separate book (documentation) that will be devoted to just this.
{% hint style="info" %} Below will be a small "demo version" of the introduction to the code in order for you to imagine how we plan to provide information to developers. Also note that the following sections (Addons, Blocks...) have the Coming soon label. We will fill this in as interest in the project grows. {% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %} For development and code changes, we recommend cloning the repository again to a separate directory instead of changing to the one that runs the production version of the kernel. {% endhint %}
For further reading and analysis, we recommend that you open the KLYNTAR kernel repository and, along with this guide, gradually figure out what's what

Before starting to deal with the code, it is worth paying attention to the structure of the kernel directories. It has the following form
{% hint style="info" %} Depth limit of 1 used {% endhint %}

KLY_Addons
A directory with various kinds of code in other languages. There are sources in Go, Rust and C ++ that require certain manipulations such as compiling into a library and converting to addons. So it will be enough to go to 1 directory and run the build. It is located at the top level of the kernel, as it contains mainly algorithms that will be common to different worker processes
KLY_Hostchains
A large and critical directory that used to interact with hostchains
KLY_Mutualism
Directory with functionality for cross-symbiotic interaction
KLY_Plugins
Contains plugins that are loaded separately by the node operator and serve to extend the capabilities of the kernel, workflows, and so on. More about plugins here
KLY_Runners
Contains code for runners that listen for new services and run further logic based on the configuration - what to run and what not to run, in which container, which script to execute, and so on. There will also be a default runner from Andromeda developers. You can see this by looking at the repository

{% hint style="warning" %} Don't forget that the development process is ongoing {% endhint %}
KLY_Services
Storage for services
KLY_Tests
Directory with individual units and other tests
KLY_Utils
Contains algorithms and data structures. Again, it is at the top level due to the fact that the algorithms and useful functions here are common to all symbiotes. We can even look at it visually

KLY_VirtualMachines
Directory with virtual machines available to be used. Currently, it's WASM-based KLY-WVM and EVM-based KLY-EVM. Also, the abstract VM - UVM is a universal VM that allow interaction between EVM and WASM + other interesting and useful features like oracles, offchain abilities, etc.
KLY_Workflows
Contains workflows implementations for symbiotes
This was an introductory explanation of the core. We started with the structure and will continue to disassemble in more detail and clearly. We believe that such a manual will be useful and give a deep understanding of KLYNTAR
