# What is KMI and how to use it?

To use it, you need a device with **the curl utility**, usually available on all Linux distributions, installed via a package manager like **apt install curl** or **yum install curl** and so on.

Then type a simple command and your text/text file is instantly stored in the cloud.

```
cat hello-world.c | curl -F 'kmi=<-' https://kmi.aeza.net
// You will then receive a short and convenient link to your text file format https://kmi.aeza.net/dJdFRy
```

**KMI is completely free, has no restrictions, limits or anything else.** Use as much as you need.

You can also install a script for more convenient use of **KMI**, you can do it as follows:

<pre><code><strong>// Installing curl
</strong>curl https://kmi.aeza.net/install | sudo sh

<strong>// Usage
</strong>echo 123 | kmi
<strong>// Where 123 is the text to load into the KMI
</strong></code></pre>
