The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 3. Installation

3.1. How to obtain Kicker

Kicker is part of the KDE project http://www.kde.org. Kicker can be found in the kdebase package on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/, the main ftp site of the KDE project.

Kicker is an integral part of the K Desktop Environment. If KDE is running, then you can be sure that Kicker is running, because without Kicker you could not exhibit much control over KDE.

3.1.1. Requirements

Kicker requires KDE 2.0. It need about 2 Megabytes of memory to run, but this may vary depending on your platform and configuration.

All required libraries as well as Kicker itself are part of kdebase package, which can be found on KDE home page..

3.1.2. Compilation and installation

Since Kicker is an integral part of kdebase package, it's compilation is a part of kdebase compilation and installation.

Since kdebase uses autoconf and automake you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the KDE mailing lists.
