 == Installation ==
-=== Install binary packages ===
+Visit the [https://kdenlive.org/download/ download] page of the Kdenlive Web site for up to date information on installing '''Kdenlive'''.  (Aug 2017)
-Multimedia packages are made available on many  alternative repositories, often because of distributions restrictions on available codecs due to patents in some countries (mainly US for the moment).
+Follow this link for  [[Special:myLanguage/Historical Install Information|Historical Install Information]]
-Everything would be perfect in a wonderful world if package builders would contribute to official distributions, and multimedia editors chose only free codecs to promote their use worldwide {{Smiley}}... So try to stick to distributions deliveries?
-==== Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives ====
+=== Configuration Information ===
-''Debian'' project ships '''Kdenlive''' packages since "squeeze" (6.0) release, however to benefit from recent updates and bugfixes you might consider upgrading to a "testing" release or even "sid".
+Kdenlive's application-wide persistent settings are stored in the following locations, depending on your platform.
-''Ubuntu'' also offers '''Kdenlive''' since "gutsy" (7.10), but for similar reasons it could be preferable to upgrade to the latest release.
-In both cases a simple <code>apt-get install kdenlive</code> should then work.
+==== GNU/Linux ====
-==== Fedora, RedHat and derivatives ====
+* '''~/.config/kdenliverc''' : contains the general settings of the application. Delete this and restart kdenlive to reset the application to "factory" settings
-RPM packages are not yet maintained in official branch, so you must go through unofficial [http://rpmfusion.org/ RPM Fusion] repository. Follow the site recommendations to make them available and end with <code>yum install kdenlive</code>
+*'''~/.config/session/kdenlive_104534dcfdb61d887154xxxxxxxxxxx_154yyyyyy_98zzzz''' : temporary session info
-==== Gentoo, Arch, BSD ports ====
+*~/.cache/kdenlive : cache location storing audio thumbnails, video thumbnails, and proxy clips
-Building scripts are ready for up-to-date systems, so run respectively <code>emerge kdenlive</code> or <code>pacman -S kdenlive</code> or <code>pkg_add kdenlive</code>, etc.
+* ~/.local/share/kdenlive/HD : lumas folder inside here contains the files used for   [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Transitions/Wipe|Wipes]]
+* ~/.local/share/stalefiles/kdenlive
 ==== Windows ====
-There is no native Windows version of '''Kdenlive''' yet. However, you can use some virtualized [[Special:myLanguage/What_is_a_distribution|Linux distribution]] to run '''Kdenlive''' on '''Windows'''. Some advices can be found on [http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/kdenlive-windows this page].
+* %LOCALAPPDATA%\kdenlive\cache : cache location storing audio thumbnails, video thumbnails, and proxy clips
-==== MacOS ====
-'''Kdenlive''' and '''MLT''' can compile and run under Mac OS X. Packages are available from the [http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts] project.
-MacPorts is a source-based system - there is not a binary app bundle for Kdenlive. Therefore, '''Kdenlive''' and all of its numerous dependencies including multimedia libraries, KDE, and Qt must be compiled. This can take a long time and much disk space! Furthermore, it is not unusual for something not to build correctly; it is definitely not something for the novice, impatient, or "faint of heart."
-For more details see [http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/mac-os-x-packages-macports this]
-=== Installing from source ===
-If you want to test latest committed code or your personal patches, you will have to build '''Kdenlive''' (and probably '''MLT''') on your own.
-You can use your distribution's package building procedure to use its software management system to install/upgrade/remove the binaries and data, and eventually share your builds (and even contribute to package maintainance - refer to the respective distribution manual).
+* %APPDATA%\kdenlive : contains user library clips, speech models, profiles and titles
-If you prefer you can build & install '''Kdenlive''' to a local area (preferably not <tt>/usr</tt>, but rather <tt>/usr/local</tt> or <tt>$HOME/my_local_builds/kdenlive-last-release</tt> or similar).
+* %PROGRAMFILES%\kdenlive\bin\data\kdenlive\lumas : lumas folder inside here contains the files used for [[Special:MyLanguage/Kdenlive/Manual/Transitions/Wipe|Wipes]]
-It is then recommanded to use the [http://www.mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/BuildScripts#Kdenlive build script] <ref>on distributions older than ''Debian 6'' or ''Ubuntu 10.04'' and derivatives, you need to set <code>ENABLE_SWFDEC=0</code> in the config variables of the script</ref>
