How to install KDevelop

GNU/Linux

Many Linux distributions include KDevelop by default, and most have a package management system that enables you to easily install KDevelop. Generally, you should install from the package management system. If for some reason you cannot or do not want to use your distribution's packaging system (outdated packages, no packages), for versions of KDevelop since 5.0.0, you can also find a cross-distribution binary on the KDE servers, under bin/linux/ in the respective version's folder: http://download.kde.org/stable/kdevelop/

Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install kdevelop

OpenSuse

zypper install kdevelop
