# A.3. Compilation and installation

KSnapshot may be installed from the kdegraphics package either by installing a binary RPM or by compiling the source package.

## A.3.1. Installing from RPMs

To install the kdegrahics package from a binary RPM you must be logged in as root. Assuming that the name of the RPM is `filename.rpm`, do the following at the command prompt:

     % rpm -ivh filename.rpm

Should you run into problems please report them to the KDE mailing lists.

## A.3.2. Installing from source

In order to compile and install KSnapshot on your system, type the following in the base directory of the kdegraphics distribution:

     % ./configure
     % make
     % make install

Since KSnapshot uses autoconf and automake you should not have trouble compiling it.

Should you run into problems please report them to the KDE mailing lists.
