# Appendix A. Installation

Konsole is part of the KDE 2.0 base packages. It will automatically be installed with your KDE installation, and requires KDE 2.0 to function.

For more information, you should visit the KDE website at http://www.kde.org/

To obtain Konsole separately, download the kdebase package, and compile and install it as indicated in the package's main directory. New versions of kdebase can be obtained at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/

To build Konsole:

     $  cd kdebase/konsole
     $  ./configure
     $  make
     Then as root:
     #  make install

Information on building Konsole on platforms other than Linux is available in the `README.ports` file in the Konsole source package. It provides a list of experts for certain platforms (Tru64, Solaris, OpenBSD) and requests volunteers from other Unix platforms.
