The K Desktop Environment

2.4. Installation of binary packages

The installation of precompiled packages under Linux depends on the package format used. KIllustrator is available in rpm and deb package formats. For a successful installation be sure to select the package for your system. First, some definitions:

2.4.1. rpm

To install an rpm package use the command rpm -i FILENAME.The package may be deleted later using the command rpm -e PACKAGENAME.

2.4.2. deb

Similarly for deb packages, the installation command is dpkg -i FILENAME and to remove the package dpkg -r PACKAGE_NAME.

In both cases ROOT privileges will almost certainly be required to install or uninstall the packages.
