Installing a package
You can install digiKam using pre-compiled version of digiKam. This is done by your distribution. A disadvantage is that in some cases the version provided by your distribution is not the latest stable version the digiKam team has released. The links given below will give you information about which version your distribution packages.
Linux
| Distribution | Link to the list of Digikam packages | Command line to install |
| Ubuntu | here | apt-get install digikam |

Here, we provide some usefull tips for getting a slightly more up-to-date version:
Under Ubuntu 10.10 you can use some PPA, look here.
FreeBSD
The list of digiKam packages in FreshPorts can be found here.
Mac OS X
Under Mac OS X, digiKam can be obtained using fink or macports. As fink packages are outdated, we advise to use the Macports project.
To install digiKam using Macports, first install Macports and then type (be prepared to wait hours for the compilation of digikam and all its dependencies):
sudo port install digikam
Windows
digiKam for windows can be obtained via the KDE windows installer or using our own installer, you can download it on sourceforge .
Be carreful digiKam is not as stable under windows as under linux because of some bugs in the underlying KDE libs.
