Visit the [https://kdenlive.org/download/ download] page of the Kdenlive Web site for up to date information on installing '''Kdenlive'''.  (Aug 2017)

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?

=== Configuration Information === <!--T:97-->
Most linux distributions provide recent binary packages of '''Kdenlive''' that can be installed from your Package Manager. However, in some cases you can find more recent versions in private repositories.


<!--T:27-->
<!--T:98-->
[http://www.kdenlive.org/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive This] page at the '''Kdenlive''' home has instructions on how to source these more recent versions depending on what flavour of Linux you run.  Instructions for Debian, Fedora Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Slackware and Ubuntu are available.
Kdenlive's application-wide persistent settings are stored in the following locations, depending on your platform.  


<!--T:29-->
The current stable release is version  [http://kdenlive.org/discover/0.9.10 0.9.10] released 25th September 2014.<br />
You need to have recent versions of frei0r, kdenlive , mlt and  libvidstab
e.g. <br />
frei0r = 1.4.0+git20140826.72e51041  <br />
kdenlive = 0.9.10  <br />
mlt = 0.9.3+git20141005.22abed67 <br />
libvidstab=2:0.98b  <br />


==== Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives ==== <!--T:4-->
==== GNU/Linux ==== <!--T:99-->


<!--T:5-->
<!--T:100-->
''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".
* '''~/.config/kdenliverc''' : contains the general settings of the application. Delete this and restart kdenlive to reset the application to "factory" settings


<!--T:6-->
<!--T:101-->
''Ubuntu'' also offers '''Kdenlive''' since "gutsy" (7.10), but for similar reasons it could be preferable to upgrade to the latest release.
*'''~/.config/session/kdenlive_104534dcfdb61d887154xxxxxxxxxxx_154yyyyyy_98zzzz''' : temporary session info


<!--T:7-->
<!--T:102-->
In both cases a simple <code>apt-get install kdenlive</code> should then work.
*~/.cache/kdenlive : cache location storing audio thumbnails, video thumbnails, and proxy clips


<!--T:36-->
<!--T:103-->
Sunab offers a stable release of Kdenlive from [https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-release this] PPA.
* ~/.local/share/kdenlive/HD : lumas folder inside here contains the files used for  [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Transitions/Wipe|Wipes]]


==== Fedora, RedHat and derivatives ==== <!--T:8-->
<!--T:104-->
* ~/.local/share/stalefiles/kdenlive


<!--T:9-->
==== Windows ==== <!--T:106-->
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 site's recommendations to make them available and end with <code>yum install kdenlive</code>


==== Gentoo, Arch, BSD ports ==== <!--T:10-->
<!--T:107-->
* %LOCALAPPDATA%\kdenlive\cache : cache location storing audio thumbnails, video thumbnails, and proxy clips


<!--T:11-->
<!--T:108-->
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.
* %APPDATA%\kdenlive : contains user library clips, speech models, profiles and titles


==== Windows ==== <!--T:19-->
<!--T:109-->
* %PROGRAMFILES%\kdenlive\bin\data\kdenlive\lumas : lumas folder inside here contains the files used for [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Transitions/Wipe|Wipes]]


<!--T:20-->
<!--T:105-->
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 advice can be found on [http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/kdenlive-windows this page].
 
<!--T:41-->
There is also the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdenlive-on-win/ kdenlive on win] project on source forge which "consists of an Ubuntu VirtualBox image that is preconfigured to run Kdenlive". The project was last updated 2012-08-09.
 
==== MacOS ==== <!--T:21-->
 
<!--T:22-->
'''Kdenlive''' and '''MLT''' can compile and run under Mac OS X. Packages are available from the [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] project.
 
<!--T:23-->
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."
 
<!--T:24-->
For more details see [http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/mac-os-x-packages-macports this]
 
<!--T:30-->
You may have some success getting support for the MacPort of kdenlive on the Mac Ports forum on [http://mac-os-forge.2317878.n4.nabble.com/MacPorts-f3.html MacOS Forge]
 
=== 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 maintenance - 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>$HOME/my_local_builds/kdenlive-last-release</tt> or similar).
It is then recommended to use the [http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts#Kdenlive build script] <ref>on distributions older than ''Debian 6'' or ''Ubuntu 10.04'' and derivatives, you need to set <code>ENABLE_SWFDEC=0</code> in the config variables of the script. Modify the INSTALL_DIR in the script to  something like INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/my_local_builds/kdenlive-last-release" to make it match where you want this local build to install. </ref> (Follow the instructions under "show kdenlive". These instructions will build kdenlive and its dependancies [eg melt, ffmpeg] in a "sandbox"  )
 
===Installing from Sunab's PPA === <!--T:28-->
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 bleeding edge source see [https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-svn launchpad.net - kdenlive-git (unstable).Testing only! ]
 
<!--T:39-->
Note:  Sunab  also maintains a [https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/kdenlive-release PPA] of the offical current release of Kdenlive  (as noted above) as well as the current release minus one at [https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/ubuntu/kdenlive-release-old  ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release-old]
 
<!--T:40-->
If you need to back out a release to the previous release then:
* delete all packages (kdenlive, mlt, ...) from the kdenlive-release ppa (manually or with ppa-purge)
* disable ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release in the package manager/software sources
* enable the  [https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/ubuntu/kdenlive-release-old  ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release-old]  in the package manager/software sources
* install kdenlive from ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release-old
 
===Installing from daily builds  === <!--T:31-->
 
<!--T:32-->
Dan Dennedy provides automatic daily builds that contain the latest git versions of Kdenlive, MLT, Frei0r, FFmpeg and some other important libraries.
You can test this packages without changing your system. Just download the package and extract it to a folder of your choice.
Inside that folder is a "start-kdenlive" executable that will start for you the latest Kdenlive.
 
<!--T:33-->
Execute this by typing ./start-kdenlive in a terminal
 
<!--T:34-->
Daily builds are currently provided for Ubuntu (should be compatible with OpenSuse 12 and Debian 7) and Fedora.
 
<!--T:35-->
See the [http://builds.meltytech.com/kdenlive/latest.rss daily builds rss feed] which provides links to the builds for the above mentioned distributions.
 
<!--T:37-->
Be sure to choose the correct download for your system. 
 
<!--T:38-->
kdenlive-fedora17-x86_64-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2  is for 64bit fedora<br>
kdenlive-ubuntu12.04-x86_'''64'''-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2  is for 64bit ubuntu - (release 12.04 or higher) or other debian based distros<br>
