Installation

System Requirements
In order to install and use you must have:
A functioning system with the system configured.
The K Desktop Environment 2.2 ( 2.2). will probably not function with older versions of . Information on obtaining and installing 2.2 can be found at: http://www.kde.org.
Permission to install software on your computer. If you are on a stand alone system, this will not be a problem. If, however, you are using a networked computer, check with your administrator.
If you plan on compiling from source code you will also need:
automake 1.4 or newer. This can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/automake/
autoconf 2.13 or later. This can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/autoconf/
A C++ compiler which supports exceptions (preferably gcc 2.95.x). This can be downloaded from http://egcs.cygnus.com/
Troll Tech's 2.3 development packages. These can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.troll.no/
Once your system meets these requirements, you than need to decide whether you want to install from the source code, or premade compiled packages.
If you want to obtain the most current binary version of , you can find more information at Getting Binary Packages.
If pre-compiled binaries are not available for your system, you can download the source code and compile it yourself. Instructions on where to obtain the current source code and what to do with the source code once you have it, can be found under Getting the source code.

Getting Binary Packages
You can download the most current binaries from http://koffice.kde.org/
or from one of many mirror sites. The current list of mirror sites can be found at http://www.kde.org/mirrors.html
It is important that you find a binary package that is compatable with your system. If you are unable to find it here, you may be able to obtain a pre-compiled binary from the website of your distribution.

From Binary Packages
To install from precompiled binaries, you should:
Ensure your computer has all the required software (excluding of course), is installed. You can find the system requirements under System Requirements.
Download the binary (***Insert filenames (rpm and deb and tar) here***) into a temporary directory.
If the file is a .rpm ( Package Management Package), can be installed with: rpm -U filename
If the file is a .deb (Debian Package file), can be installed with: dpkg -i filename
If the file is a tarball (ends in .tar.gz or .tgz), can be installed with tar -xzvf filename
You are now installed!
You can now start or you can go through a Step by Step which will help take you through a sample document.

Getting Source Code
You can download the current source code from http://koffice.kde.org/ or from one of many mirror sites. The current list of mirror sites can be found at http://www.kde.org/mirrors.html

From Source Code
If you want to build from source code, you should
Ensure your computer has all the required software (excluding of course), is installed. You can find the system requirements under System Requirements.
Download the source file (Insert filenames (srpm and tar) here***) into a temporary directory.
