How to install KDevelop

GNU/Linux

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If for some reason you cannot or do not want to use your distribution's packaging system (outdated packages, no packages), for versions of KDevelop since 5.0, you can also find a cross-distribution binary (AppImage) here.

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install kdevelop

openSUSE

zypper install kdevelop5

KDevelop can also be compiled from source on Windows via KDE's Craft tool. This tool will set up a development environment (including a Qt + KF5 build), and then compiles & install KDevelop. To get started, visit the Windows build instructions.

To compile & install kdevelop just type this into your command window:

craft kdevelop

Run kdevelop by just typing

kdevelop
