-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).
+<!--T:82-->
+Visit the [https://kdenlive.org/download/ download] page of the Kdenlive Web site for up to date information on installing '''Kdenlive'''.  (Aug 2017)
-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, Ubuntu and derivatives ===
-''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".
+=== Configuration Information === <!--T:97-->
-''Ubuntu'' also offers '''Kdenlive''' since "gutsy" (7.10), but for similar reasons it could be preferable to upgrade to the latest release.
+<!--T:98-->
+Kdenlive's application-wide persistent settings are stored in the following locations, depending on your platform.
-In both cases a simple <code>apt-get install kdenlive</code> should then work.
-=== Fedora, RedHat and derivatives ===
+==== GNU/Linux ==== <!--T:99-->
-RPM packages are not yet maintained in official branch, so you must go through unofficial [http://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion] repository. Follow the site recommandations to make them available and end with <code>yum install kdenlive</code>
+<!--T:100-->
+* '''~/.config/kdenliverc''' : contains the general settings of the application. Delete this and restart kdenlive to reset the application to "factory" settings
-=== Gentoo, Arch, BSD ports ===
+<!--T:101-->
+*'''~/.config/session/kdenlive_104534dcfdb61d887154xxxxxxxxxxx_154yyyyyy_98zzzz''' : temporary session info

-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:104-->
+* ~/.local/share/stalefiles/kdenlive
-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).
+==== Windows ==== <!--T:106-->
-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).
+<!--T:107-->
-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>
