Initial configuration

2.2. Initial configuration#

2.2.1. Initial Setup of KDE Builder#

2.2.1.1. Prepare the configuration file#

KDE Builder uses a configuration file to control which projects are built, where they are installed to, etc.

Run this command to generate configuration file:

kde-builder --generate-config

The config file will be located at ~/.config/kde-builder.yaml (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kde-builder.yaml, if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set).

You can then edit the ~/.config/kde-builder.yaml configuration file to make any changes you see fit.

2.2.1.2. Install the dependencies for projects#

Building of projects requires some packages from your distribution to be installed.

Run this command to install needed dependencies:

kde-builder --install-distro-packages
