Ručna instalacija

Although the preferred method of installing programs is with the package manager, individual software package files can be downloaded and installed. Several kinds of package files are available for Linux™ systems. Generally, these file types are associated with the package managers of specific Linux™ distributions.

To install a particular application, it is preferable to select a Kubuntu™ package of the application, and install it with a package manager. This ensures that the program is compatible with other software on the system. If there is no version of the package available through a package manager, it may be possible to install it manually. The installation procedure depends on the type of package file.

The package files associated with Kubuntu™ have the .deb suffix because of Kubuntu™'s close relationship with the DebianGNU™/Linux™ distribution. Individual .deb files can be downloaded and installed. Administrative privileges are required to do this.

Red Hat™ package manager files have the .rpm suffix. Installing these on a Kubuntu™ system is not recommended. In almost all cases, a native Kubuntu.deb version of the package is available. However, if necessary, an .rpm file can be converted to a .deb package by using a program called Alien.

Files with the .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 suffix are package files known as tarballs or source packages. These are widely used in Linux™. If there is no native Kubuntu™ package available in any of the repositories, it may be possible to compile and install the package from source.
