Installation
Installation af binære pakker
Multimediepakker gøres tilgængelige i mange alternative arkiver, ofte på grund af begrænsninger i retten til at distribuere codecs på grund af patenter i nogle lande (for øjeblikket især USA).
I en perfekt verden ville pakkebyggere bidrage til officielle distributioner og de der laver multimedieindhold ville holde sig til frie codecs for at udbrede brugen af dem over hele verden 
... Så prøv at holde dig til, hvad din distribution leverer.
Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives
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".
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 apt-get install kdenlive should then work.
Fedora, RedHat and derivatives
RPM packages are not yet maintained in official branch, so you must go through unofficial RPM Fusion repository. Follow the site recommendations to make them available and end with yum install kdenlive
Gentoo, Arch, BSD ports
Building scripts are ready for up-to-date systems, so run respectively emerge kdenlive or pacman -S kdenlive or pkg_add kdenlive, etc.
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).
If you prefer you can build & install Kdenlive to a local area (preferably not /usr, but rather /usr/local or $HOME/my_local_builds/kdenlive-last-release or similar). It is then recommanded to use the build script [1]
- ↑ on distributions older than Debian 6 or Ubuntu 10.04 and derivatives, you need to set
ENABLE_SWFDEC=0in the config variables of the script
