Initialize Database

Before you can start tracking transactions, you need to initialize the database:

kakei init

This command:

• Creates the database file at the appropriate location for your platform
  • Linux (XDG): ~/.local/share/kakei/kakei.db
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/kakei/kakei.db
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\kakei\kakei.db
• Runs database migrations to set up the schema
• Initializes default categories: Food, Transport, Daily Goods, Hobby, Salary
• Initializes default accounts: Cash, Bank

You only need to run this command once when you first start using kakei.
