-Multimedia packages are made available on many  alternative repositories, often because of distributions restrictions on available codecs due to patents in some countries (mainly US for the moment).
+Follow this link for  [[Special:myLanguage/Historical Install Information|Historical Install Information]]

-Everything would be perfect in a wonderful world if package builders would contribute to official distributions, and multimedia editors chose only free codecs to promote their use worldwide {{Smiley}}... So try to stick to distributions deliveries?

-''Debian'' project ships '''Kdenlive''' packages since "squeeze" (6.0) release, however to benefit from recent updates and bugfixes you might consider upgrading to a "testing" release or even "sid".
+Kdenlive's application-wide persistent settings are stored in the following locations, depending on your platform.
-<!--T:6-->
-''Ubuntu'' also offers '''Kdenlive''' since "gutsy" (7.10), but for similar reasons it could be preferable to upgrade to the latest release.
-<!--T:7-->
+==== GNU/Linux ==== <!--T:99-->
-In both cases a simple <code>apt-get install kdenlive</code> should then work.
-==== Fedora, RedHat and derivatives ==== <!--T:8-->
+<!--T:100-->
+* '''~/.config/kdenliverc''' : contains the general settings of the application. Delete this and restart kdenlive to reset the application to "factory" settings

-RPM packages are not yet maintained in official branch, so you must go through an unofficial repository such as  [http://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion] or [http://packman.links2linux.de/package/kdenlive packman]. Follow the sites recommendations to make them available and end with <code>yum install kdenlive</code>

-Building scripts are ready for up-to-date systems, so run respectively <code>emerge kdenlive</code> or <code>pacman -S kdenlive</code> or <code>pkg_add kdenlive</code>, etc.

+==== Windows ==== <!--T:106-->
-There is no native Windows version of '''Kdenlive''' yet. However, you can use some virtualized [[Special:myLanguage/What_is_a_distribution|Linux distribution]] to run '''Kdenlive''' on '''Windows'''. Some advices can be found on [http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/kdenlive-windows this page].
-==== MacOS ==== <!--T:21-->

+* %LOCALAPPDATA%\kdenlive\cache : cache location storing audio thumbnails, video thumbnails, and proxy clips

+<!--T:108-->
-'''Kdenlive''' and '''MLT''' can compile and run under Mac OS X. Packages are available from the [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] project.
+* %APPDATA%\kdenlive : contains user library clips, speech models, profiles and titles
-<!--T:23-->
+<!--T:109-->
-MacPorts is a source-based system - there is not a binary app bundle for Kdenlive. Therefore, '''Kdenlive''' and all of its numerous dependencies including multimedia libraries, KDE, and Qt must be compiled. This can take a long time and much disk space! Furthermore, it is not unusual for something not to build correctly; it is definitely not something for the novice, impatient, or "faint of heart."

-=== Installing from source === <!--T:12-->
-<!--T:13-->
-If you want to test latest committed code or your personal patches, you will have to build '''Kdenlive''' (and probably '''MLT''') on your own.
-<!--T:14-->
-You can use your distribution's package building procedure to use its software management system to install/upgrade/remove the binaries and data, and eventually share your builds (and even contribute to package maintainance - refer to the respective distribution manual).
-<!--T:15-->
-If you prefer you can build & install '''Kdenlive''' to a local area (preferably not <tt>/usr</tt>, but rather <tt>/usr/local</tt> or <tt>$HOME/my_local_builds/kdenlive-last-release</tt> or similar).
-It is then recommanded to use the [http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts#Kdenlive build script] <ref>on distributions older than ''Debian 6'' or ''Ubuntu 10.04'' and derivatives, you need to set <code>ENABLE_SWFDEC=0</code> in the config variables of the script</ref>
-===Installing from Sunabs PPA ===
-Olivier Banus (AKA Sunab) provides a personal package archive (PPA) of the latest development trees of Frei0r-plugins, MLT and Kdenlive. For details on how to install Kdenlive using this source see [https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-svn launchpad.net]
