the title-casing of a section on the README and makes a visual change to
the userspace doc to try to make the note clearer.

## Installation
Installing `kgctl` currently requires building the binary from source.
*Note*: the [Go toolchain must be installed](https://golang.org/doc/install) in order to build the binary.
To build and install `kgctl`, run:
The `kgctl` binary is automatically compiled for Linux, macOS, and Windows for every release of Kilo and can be downloaded from [the GitHub releases page](https://github.com/squat/kilo/releases/latest).
### Building from Source
Kilo is written in Golang and as a result the [Go toolchain must be installed](https://golang.org/doc/install) in order to build the `kgctl` binary.
To download the Kilo source code and then build and install `kgctl` using the latest commit all with a single command, run:
```shell
go install github.com/squat/kilo/cmd/kgctl
go install github.com/squat/kilo/cmd/kgctl@latest
```
Alternatively, `kgctl` can be built and installed based on specific version of the code by specifying a Git tag or hash, e.g.:
```shell
go install github.com/squat/kilo/cmd/kgctl@0.2.0
```
When working on Kilo locally, it can be helpful to build and test the `kgctl` binary as part of the development cycle.
In order to build a binary from a local checkout of the Git repository, run:
```shell
make
```
This will produce a `kgctl` binary at `./bin/<your-os>/<your-architecture>/kgctl`.
