KDevelop/Install

How to install KDevelop

Many Linux distributions include KDevelop by default, and most have a package management system that enables you to easily install KDevelop. Generally, you should install from the package management system.

If for some reason you cannot or do not want to use your distribution's packaging system (outdated packages, no packages), for versions of KDevelop since 5.0, you can also find a cross-distribution binary (AppImage) here.

zypper install kdevelop5
