The K Desktop Environment

Chapter 2. Installation

Konsole is part of the KDE 2.0 base packages. It will automatically be installed with your KDE installation, and requires KDE 2.0 to function.

For more information, you should visit the KDE website at http://www.kde.org/

To obtain Konsole separately, it is part of the kdebase package, and should be compiled and installed as indicated in the package's main directory. New versions of kdebase can be obtained at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/

To build Konsole:

 $  cd kdebase/konsole
 $  ./configure
 $  make
 Then as root:
 #  make install
